High altitude combined with bad weather caused a group of hikers to become stranded, but they were rescued within 24 hours thanks to SOS via Satellite for iPhone.
According to a report from Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office a call for help came in at 7:30pm. Due to worsening conditions, the family was advised to shelter in place as rescuers tried to reach them.
Ground crews using all-terrain vehicles were deployed, but couldn’t reach them due to the changing conditions until 6am the following morning. Rescuers found the group “cold, wet, and dyhydrated, but otherwise okay.”
