This is a reminder to everyone always to be prepared for any disastrous weather coming your way if you are hiking, climbing to the mountains, or doing any outdoor activities. It's best to pack a bag full of essentials, such as a warm blanket, a fire starter kit, and water, and don't forget to dress warm by wearing a coat and comfortable hiking shoes now that the weather is starting to get chilly. We want to thank the SAR teams in Salt Lake County for rescuing the hiker, as we hope the individual is recovering well. As always, please be safe out there, everyone!
