Search and rescue teams are actively searching for up to three hikers reported missing on Mt. Baldy.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department received a call on Monday morning around 11:30 a.m. about an injured hiker believed to be with two others. The exact starting point of the hikers’ trek remains unknown.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department deployed a helicopter crew to assist in the search efforts near the Mt. Baldy Village area on Monday. The search continued overnight, with officials stating that more information would be provided on Tuesday morning. According to Yahoo News, a recent powerful storm had dumped several inches of snow on the mountain, complicating the search efforts.
Mt. Baldy Village is a well-known destination for hikers, featuring several trailheads. The challenging weather conditions following the storm have increased the urgency of the search.
