Two hikers that went missing in the Yosemite National Park over the weekend were recently found safe.
What was supposed to be a couple-hour-long hike, reportedly to Ostrander Lake, turned into a nightmare as the two hikers were declared 'overdue' later that day.
"Through the diligent efforts of Yosemite Search and Rescue cooperators from CalOES, and CHP, the missing hikers have been found and will soon reunite with family," said the park's account. No information has been made available on whether they were injured or how the hike took a turn for the worse. Yosemite is one of the most popular destinations for hikers thanks to the beautiful views it has to offer. It's important to be safe, though, as it can be easy to get lost.
