Two Virginia men lost while hiking in Montana are back at home safe and sound Tuesday.

According to a statement from Glacier National Park, Jason Hiser of Richmond, Va. and Neal Peckens of Herndon, Va. had the right equipment and used their outdoor skills to survive.

Dozens of searchers on foot, horseback and by air scoured the area for three straight days. The two men, originally from western Maryland, were found unharmed on Monday.
