The Coconino County Sheriff’s Office rescued four hikers from Munds Canyon south of Flagstaff last Friday.
The group of one adult male and three juveniles split off from a larger group of hikers, intending to hike Munds Canyon from 1-17 to Oak Creek. They became exhausted while attempting to return to their vehicle on I-17. A search and rescue team assisted the hikers out of the canyon using a rope rescue system. None of the hikers required medical attention.
The Sheriff's Office reminds outdoor users to carry extra food and water and appropriate safety equipment, and to leave a detailed trip itinerary with a trusted person.
