A couple last seen Jan. 26 were found Wednesday by a county road worker near a canyon in southwestern Utah.

Thomas and Tamitha Garner were with their truck about 60 miles west of Cedar City by a county worker who was plowing the road, Iron County Sheriff Mark Gower told The Salt Lake Tribune.

The Kearns couple had gone on a weekend trip to photograph wild horses on Jan. 24. They were last seen two days later in Nevada. Search and rescue crews had been searching a vast area for any sign of the couple.

Gower says they were stranded, but stayed with their vehicle and survived the ordeal.
