The woman missing for nine days in the forest above Peachland survived on stream water and mushrooms, say RCMP.
Kara Stoyanowski of Winnipeg and her boyfriend got stuck on an offshoot of the Peachland Forest Service Road on June 9.
RCMP spokesman Cpl. Joe Duncan says her boyfriend went one way to get help, but she walked to higher ground and got lost, disappearing into the dense bush.
A massive search ensued, involving Mounties, sniffer dogs, a police helicopter and scores of volunteers from as far away as the communities of Kamloops and Princeton.
Duncan says Stoyanowski had lost weight, and had cuts on her feet and a sunburn when she finally stepped onto a gravel road on Thursday evening and flagged down two men who were out checking their livestock.
He says an ambulance took her to Kelowna General Hospital, where she was treated and released, and is now back with her boyfriend and staying in the area.
