A hiker needed a late night rescue after he and two children, aged 4 and 6, took the wrong trail. The head of the Ketchikan Volunteer Rescue Squad says a number of other people have needed rescue in the past after mixing up the same trailheads.
Three hikers were rescued from a popular trail on the north side of Ketchikan on Tuesday.
The caller said the 35-year-old man was new to the area and had gone for a hike with his two small children, ages 4 and 6. He says a rescue squad team found the man and his kids about two miles up the Lunch Creek Trail just after midnight. He says they were cold and wet but otherwise OK. Rescuers carried the children back to the trailhead, arriving before sunrise Tuesday.
And they’re not the first people to end up on the wrong path. Kiffer says others who have required search and rescue in the area have made the same mistake.
