Three Lost Hikers Rescued on North Shore Trail
The North Shore SAR team came to the rescue of three lost hikers stuck on a trail as they were trying to make their way to Coliseum Mountain trail as they were unprepared.

Great work to the North Shore SAR team for rescuing the three hikers as we hope they learned their lesson to always be prepared which includes bringing an emergency bag along with appropriate equipment before hiking out. As always, please be safe out there!
