Somerset hikers rescued from Mount Monadnock

Two hikers from Massachusetts were rescued after getting lost on Mount Monadnock Sunday evening, according to the New Hampshire Fish and Game Law Enforcement Division.

 

The hikers, a 23-year-old man and 21-year-old woman from Somerset, called 911 and requested assistance finding their way off the mountain.

 

Conservation officers determined using their GPS coordinates that the hikers were off-trail approximately 1,000 feet below the summit.

 

One officer was able to send the hikers a link to mapping software, which allowed him to guide them back to the trail.
