Ian Snyder, a 34-year-old travel blogger from California, recently experienced what he described as a “miracle of God” after surviving a 1,000-foot fall while hiking in Hawaii.

The harrowing incident occurred on the Koolau Summit Trail in Honolulu, where Snyder was hiking alone.

After reaching the peak, he fell and was stranded for three days at the base of a waterfall before being rescued.

“I never expected a day of hiking like this to go the way it did,” Snyder shared during a news conference in Hawaii, expressing his gratitude to his rescuers.
