A California hiker and her dog were found safe this week after they vanished into the woods for four days — and the woman claimed she’d been chased by a man with a knife, according to a new report.

Sheryl Powell, 60, disappeared Friday near the Grandview Campground in the Bristlecone Pine Forest area of Inyo National Forest, the Inyo County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.

Powell took their 5-pound black and white dog, Miley, for a walk after she and her husband selected a campsite, police said. When her husband, who was moving his car at the time, got out, his wife and Miley were nowhere to be found. So he alerted the cops using his satellite device.

Several law enforcement and search and rescue organizations combed the area through the weekend for Powell — who is described as an “experienced hiker” — but to no avail.

Then on Monday, they found her in an extremely remote area using aerial reconnaissance and thermal imaging, police said.

Miley was found about two-and-a-half miles from where Powell went missing, authorities said.

Powell, who was transported to a local hospital for medical clearance, was “resilient and strong but exhausted,” the sheriff’s office said.

But she had a story to tell, local station ABC 7 reported.

She told family that she strayed away when a knife-wielding man who appeared to have been hiding out in the area went after her down a hill, according to the report. Powell thought the man was chasing her, she said following her rescue.

She managed to find water and a cactus to eat, but after a while could no longer walk, the outlet reported. Now she’s recovering and is expected to be released from the hospital in a few days.

Powell’s family was grateful for everyone who worked together to bring her home safely.

“Everything happened so fast,” daughter Farrah Powell told the outlet. “We’re so happy.”

“SHES ALIVE!!!” Farrah posted to Facebook, with a photo of the family around her mom’s hospital bed. “This is the happiest day of our lives. We can’t thank everyone enough!!!!!!!”

“Nothing counts,” the hiker’s husband added. “Nothing in the world counts anymore. This is a miracle of miracles.”

Meanwhile, another woman, Barbara Thomas, 69, of Arizona, went missing over the weekend after going for a hike with her husband in the Mojave Desert about 20 miles north of a freeway that passes through San Bernardino.

Temps there climbed to 100 degrees over the weekend and are expected to remain in the triple digits throughout the week — with no sign of Thomas by Tuesday morning.

Powell wasn’t the only missing California hiker to be found alive in recent weeks.

Eugene Jo, 72, spent his week-long ordeal cozied up to rocks heated by the daytime sun after he was separated June 22 from his hiking group in the San Gabriel Mountains. He was discovered on June 29.
