4/20/24 – Whites Creek Lost Hikers

SAR Staff, Hasty BC, SVU, and WCSAR BC responded to two different staging locations to access a pair of lost hikers and their dog on the Jones Creek/Whites Creek Loop Trail. They had become mired down in the deep snow on the north side of the ridge, were not dressed for the hiking conditions, and were wet and exhausted. Backcountry teams located the subjects and escorted them down to waiting SVU tracked vehicles for transport down to staging.
