A hiker spent two harrowing days stranded on a steep mountainside in California without food or water. After receiving a call about a missing person, the Riverside Mountain Rescue Unit and sheriff's patrol helicopter commenced searches, but weather conditions initially hindered air operations. Ultimately, volunteers trekked through treacherous terrain and located the hiker just as weather conditions improved. The hiker, though dehydrated and in pain from cramping, exhibited no serious injuries and was successfully provided with food and water before extraction.
