The RCMP say the family member walking with Fraser was injured and had to stop, and Fraser lost his way after setting off to seek help.
A search-and-rescue team from Antigonish located the injured man yesterday, while Fraser was found earlier today by searchers from Antigonish and Pictou counties, and the Department of Natural Resources.
The injured man was taken to hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
