After two days, a heavy storm swept through Southern California, flooding LA and dumping snow on the mountains. The incoming extreme weather "disoriented" the hikers, resulting in them leaving the trail and landing them in a steep canyon, said the Yucaipa Police Department in a statement. During the descent, Ockenden reportedly injured her foot, forcing the pair to stop and pitch a tent. Teachman then activated his personal locator beacon, sending an emergency radio signal that was received by the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department at 3.
