It happens. This, apparently, inexperienced group was on a trail that is known for being treacherous & dangerous. When choosing your destination, it is imperative that you factor in the age, ability and the number of people in your group. Proper planning prevents poor performance. Their mobile phone only had one bar and they were not dressed for an open air campout. They got lucky. Be prepared whenever you go out into any wilderness area, even if your intention is to only be gone for a few hours. Always have an exit strategy & a shelter in place plan. Never venture out too far without a competent & experienced guide. For the group to have a good day outdoors, there has to be someone there whos job is to manage the logistics of the trip.The worst part of this story is that some of these people got a bad taste of the outdoors and may never venture out again.
