According to a post on their Facebook page, deputies were called just after 8 p.m. to the river bank along Highway 14 near milepost 21. The hikers had become stranded on the other side of the river and could not go any farther due to diminishing daylight, loss of trail, and the river bank being too steep to navigate in the dark.
