Two women hikers separated
A
female hiker, separated from her party and
running out of daylight, decided to wait out the
night in the stone hut just below the summit of
San Jacinto peak. No one knew she was relatively
safe. RMRU was contacted. By the time teams were
able to deploy it was nearly sun-up. The
Sheriffs Dept. dispatched a helicopter
which made an aerial search of the summit area
and the stone hut. The pilot determined that the
subject, who was in good condition, could be
effectively airlifted from the hut location,
saving both time and manpower. This was done and
search teams were returned to base.
