COEUR d'ALENE —  A 3-year-old was found safe in the forest two hours after she got lost Monday.

The Kootenai County Sheriff's Office said the girl was reported missing about 3:30 p.m. by her parents several miles north of Fourth of July Pass off a Forest Service road. 

Sheriff’s personnel including patrol, K-9 units, detectives, backcountry, a drone team and search and rescue were assisted by Kootenai County Fire and Rescue and the Idaho State Patrol, a press release said.

The toddler was found by hunters about two hours later and 1.3 miles away from where she went missing.
