The team was paged at 15:25 to assist the RCMP with a search for 6 lost hikers in Sasquatch Park. The group from Vancouver thought they were at Hicks Lake and had planned to hike the loop around the lake. They were in fact at Deer Lake, where a rough trail only goes part way around the south shore of the lake, ending at a creek. The subjects had contemplated crossing the creek, which would have put them into dense bush. Luckily they had one cell phone with service and were able to call for help. SAR members escorted them back to their vehicle. 10 searcher hours.
