10/16/21 – Mt. Rose Lost Hikers

SAR Staff and the Hasty Team responded to the Mt. Rose Peak area to locate two lost hikers. They had started out early in the day with an initial destination of Church’s Pond. Once they reached that location, they decided to continue up to Mt. Rose Peak. Unfortunately, due to snow, they lost the trail and became lost. A ground team, including a medic, hiked up the main trail to the peak, then down to the subject’s location. After a medical evaluation, they were escorted down to a location on the Mt. Rose Highway where they were all picked up by SAR and IMT staff.
