Lone Peak Rescue Amid Rough Weather | Salt Lake City News

Two hikers stranded on Lone Peak battled brutal winds, freezing temps, and altitude sickness—until a daring rescue unfolded. With helicopters grounded, teams set up command at the trailhead and used ground crews to reach them near Jacobs Ladder. Local volunteers stepped in first, handing out gear and supplies before official rescuers arrived with extra layers, headlamps, and a handline for tricky terrain. The Draper Fire Department then gave them a ride all the way down. Both hikers made it back safe and sound by 10:15 AM Sunday—thanks to teamwork, grit, and a little help from strangers.
