6/5/22 – Relay Ridge Stranded Hikers

SAR Staff, Hasty Team BC, SVU, and WCSAR BC staged at the Mt. Rose Summit to locate two hikers that were stranded on the Tahoe Rim Trail in the area of Relay Ridge. The hikers were not prepared for the amount of snow and incoming weather. Foot teams located the subjects and guided them down to tracked vehicles for transport. The tracked vehicles took them to 4x4s for further transport to staging. After being checked by medics, they were driven to their vehicle at Brockway Summit.
