The family headed to Seven Troughs, near their home of Lovelock, to play in the snow on Sunday but failed to return sparking a massive aerial and ground search. Alive: A group of six people arrive at Pershing General Hospital after being lost for two days in the frigid mountains near Lovelock, Nevada Arriving at hospital: James Glanton, 34, his girlfriend Christina McIntee, 25, left, and four children - a 10-year-old, pictured center, two four-year-olds and a three-year-old - were taken to hosiptal after they were found Jeep: This Tuesday, December 10, 2013 photo provided by searcher Lucia Gonzalez shows the vehicle belonging to a family who went missing after a trip to play in the snow near Lovelock, Nevada Finally, rescue crews, guided in part by cellphone signals and footprints in the now, spotted them through binoculars in nearby Trinity Canyon near the overturned vehicle. They stayed together and that was the key that allowed them to live through this experience. You don't see that that often in search and rescue,' said Paul Burke, search-and-rescue coordinator for the state. They did some pretty unusual things, heating up rocks and things. Staying together, that was a big deal. Stretcher: A child is carried from an ambulance in a stretcher after the miraculous discovery of the Nevada family Safe: An official carries one of the children from a group of six people into Pershing General Hospital after being lost for two days in the frigid mountains Their Jeep had overturned just off a road. A member of the rescue team said the engine would no longer start, but the group stayed in the upside-down vehicle for shelter, burning the spare tire to keep warm. 'Their father kept them alive and well,' said Patty Bianchi, CEO of Pershing General Hospital, where the six were taken. Everybody is in good shape. There was no frostbite. They are stable. They suffered a little exposure and dehydration, but that is all. Two of the children belong to the adults, and one is a niece and one is a nephew, according to the Pershing County sheriff's office. They were identified as Evan Glanton, Chloe Glanton, Shelby Fitzpatrick and Tate McIntee. Found! James Glanton, 34, and Christina McIntee, 25, (pictured left) and Shelby Fitzpatrick (right picture, left) and Chloe Glanton (right) have been found alive and well after going missing in the mountains on Sunday Search: A handout shows Tate McIntee who was also on the trip to the mountains in Seven Troughs Safe: The sixth member of the group is Evan Glanton. The family was taken to hospital after they were found 'The mood where I'm at's ecstatic,' said Col. Tim Hahn, who commands the Nevada Wing of the Civil Air Patrol, which had six planes searching for the group. We are thrilled beyond words. Amanda Fitzpatrick, whose daughter Shelby was among the missing, said the experience had been 'heartwrenching'. 'It's been extremely hard, probably the hardest 24 to 36 hours of my life,' she told CNN. 'It's my baby girl.' A rescue mission searching for the family and their 2005 Jeep was launched shorty after 8pm on Sunday. As many as 200 volunteers braved the freezing temperatures to comb through 6,000 square miles of snow-covered mountains. Rough terrain: The couple went missing with four children after they went to play in the snow on Sunday Spotted: The family took off from Lovelock on Sunday and have now been found in Trinity Canyon Navy search-and-rescue team and the Civil Air Patrol, an all-volunteer auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, assisted the sheriff's office by searching a concentrated area. On Tuesday, more planes were sent to search - but in fact it was the ground crew who spotted the family. Rescuers were particularly concerned as temperatures were expected to drop below zero today after plunging to minus-16 degrees on Monday. It had been unclear what supplies the family might have been carrying and they had not been in communication since Sunday. The area has spotty cell phone coverage, authorities said. Vehicle: They headed out in a silver Jeep with a black roof which rescuers hoped to spot from the sky Biting: The area is covered in snow and suffering sub-zero temperatures, which made the search urgent The Seven Troughs area is named after a series of seven parallel canyons below Seven Trough Peak - elevation 7,474 feet - in the Kamma Mountains stretching north across the Pershing-Humboldt county line. It's about 20 miles northwest of where Lovelock sits on Interstate 80 and about 20 miles southeast of the Black Rock Desert, where the annual Burning Man counterculture festival is held. 'It's remote, and it's rocky,' Nevada Department of Wildlife spokesman Chris Healy said. 'There are good dirt roads into the place, but they are dirt roads, and it is cold and snow so it's not ideal.' Healy said Seven Troughs is a popular area for hunting chukars, a pheasant-sized winter game bird. 'So it's not the kind of area where there would be nobody around,' he said Monday. But most chukar hunters are smart enough not to go out in the weather we have now.
