WEBER COUNTY, Utah, May 12, 2021 (Gephardt Daily) — Weber County search and rescue teams assisted two lost hikers on the back side of Ben Lomond Tuesday evening.

“Two males went for an afternoon hike,” said a Facebook post from Weber County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue. “When they got on top, they ran into snow and kept hiking. Their adventures took them down the back side of the mountain into some steep terrain. They realized that they could not make it back up the mountain and called for help.”

Weber SAR dispatched a motorcycle team and a climb team, the post said.

“The motorcycle team was able to locate the two males pretty quickly,” the post said. “Once the two males were located the climb team arrived in the area and assisted the two males back up the mountain to the trail. The two males were a little cold and a little wet but no other problems to report.”
