Amber Vanhecke was exploring the Grand Canyon when a GPS sent her off track. What followed was a five-day ordeal that saw her draw on her survival skills before she was eventually rescued from one of America’s most iconic national parks.
The 24-year-old college student told US ABC News that her GPS instructed her to make a wrong turn from the highway down what began as a dirt road.
“The problem was, the road wasn’t there,” the experienced outdoor adventurer said.
