Two overdue hikers have been found alive and well by search and rescue crews after spending a cold and wet night stranded in the North Shore mountains. North Shore Rescue (NSR) says it responded late Saturday after North Vancouver RCMP alerted them that two people were missing. "Obviously we didn't prepare to stay the night, but we just had enough just to like keep us alive basically." The couple was hiking in steep, slippery and rocky terrain in Hanes Valley, according to NSR search manager, Peter Haigh, who said the route takes 8 to 10 hours on a good day. Have a firm trip plan, make sure you've done your research and that you're prepared for the hike that you're going to do.
