Overdue Hikers in Golden Ears Park
The News - Searches
Friday, 28 August 2009
Four males, aged 18-20 years went hiking in Golden Ears Provincial Park. Their plan was to summit Golden Ears Mountain. The party lost the trail at Alder Flats and began to head up towards the headwall of the bowl at Alder Flats. After trying to scale the headwall for several hours and reaching a snow patch the party decided they should descend to Alder Flats. Just before Alder Flats three of the party said they were too tired to continue and they would remain and camp the night where they had stopped. The fourth member of the party returned to the trail head, walked to the park gate and phoned RCMP and his parents. Subjects were found together and in good condition early in the morning.
