DCSAR Rescues Stranded Hiker on South Sister
After almost 24 hours of searching for a lost hiker, the Deschutes County Search and Rescue found the hiker near a summit in the South Sister area on Sunday morning.

We're glad to hear the hiker was found safe despite the longevity of the search along with the weather. Great work to all the DCSAR volunteers for their dedicated work. As always, please be safe out there!
