CASPER, Wyo. (AP) – A 14-year-old boy was reunited with his mother after the two were separated while camping in the Beartooth Mountains.

The Casper Star-Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/1Wf1NhE ) the Park County search and rescue team found Tyler Eichmann early Sunday after he spent the night alone. The boy had gone off in search for his mother, Wendy Pillsbury, who became lost Saturday while hiking.

The mother and son are from Greenwich, Connecticut.

Pillsbury had gone for a hike after they set up camp near Wall Lake. She became lost and wandered for hours before reaching Beartooth Campground. She told authorities her son was still at their camp.

But rescuers found no sign of Eichmann at the camp. He was found hours later on a trail.

Rescuers returned Eichmann to his mother.
