248

The discovery of two hikers who vanished over the weekend in Yosemite National Park has been declared by local officials as successful. Officials from Yosemite National Park released a statement on Saturday, August 3, identifying the hikers as Miguel Delgado, 63, and Ana Rodarte, 40. The two hikers left at 10 a.m. local time on their day trip.

Authorities stated that the two “possibly” proceeded towards Ostrander Lake after departing from Bridalveil Creek Campground that morning. It was only expected that the entire hike would last a “couple of hours.” Instead, they never came back.

On Monday, August 5, authorities did, however, state that the hikers had “JUST been found and are alive” in an email to PEOPLE. Not immediately known were any further facts, such as if they were hurt. Delgado was last seen carrying a bag while wearing a brown jacket, orange t-shirt, and tan pants. National Park officials earlier described him as a Hispanic male who is 6 feet 1 inch tall and 160 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.

A Hispanic woman, Rodarte, was described as being 5 feet 7 inches, 198 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. She was dressed in green slacks, a blue ball hat, and a gray jacket. Park authorities asked for help from the public in finding the hikers when they were still missing. Individuals who possess any knowledge concerning their disappearance or current location are urged to “kindly get in touch with the National Park Service by phoning 888-653-0009.
