Snowmobilers, First Responders Reported Safe After Overnight Stay In "Rugged" Area

Rescuers were able to reach two snowmobilers stranded a “rugged” bowl area in southeastern Cache County late Monday, but the entire party was forced to hike to a cabin for shelter overnight due to low visibility.

According to Cache County Sheriff's Lt. Doyle Peck, Search and Rescue was called out on Monday at around 6:15 p.m. in response to a report of two stranded snowmobilers from the Weber County area.
