'We found her in a stream bed, she was waving up at us while we were in the helicopter, and we got her out nice and safe,' Chris Berquist told ABC News.
'She was not injured. She has a little bit of exposure from the sun, a little bit of sunburn. She lost her shoes a few days in. But no injuries.'
Family friend, Sarah Haynes, told the station that Eller was found in a ravine near Twin Falls.
According to Haynes, Eller survived for 17 days off of water and plants.
Berquist said Eller was 'in deep deep H'aiku' and was discovered 'several miles above Twin Falls'.
