PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Officials say two hikers who were missing in southern Utah’s Zion National Park have been rescued.
A search and rescue team had been looking for 25-year-old Evgenia Bruzulukova from Roy, Utah, and 28-year-old Jonathon Wilson from Portland, Ore., since Sunday.
The pair had a one-day backcountry permit for a trip Saturday, but their car was found at the trailhead Sunday.
Park spokesman David Eaker says a woman hiking a difficult canyon trail met the pair and directed a helicopter to their location. Eaker says the hikers were lifted out of the canyon.
