Kelowna, B.C., teens rescued in Black Mountain Regional Park

Two Okanagan teens were rescued Saturday night after getting stranded in Black Mountain Regional Park.

“The teenagers had left for a hike in the late afternoon and had gotten disorientated as they attempted to return home in the darkness,” Central Okanagan Search and Rescue said in a press release.

“When they realized they were in trouble they did the correct thing to call for help and stop moving.”

This made the rescue a textbook operation. The RCMP pinged the teens’ phone and gave COSAR their approximate location.

With this information, COSAR said, it sent out its rescue e-bike team to ride to the teens’ location where they had gotten stuck on a steep slope.

COSAR helped them down and returned them to the command post where they were handed over to a family member and the RCMP. Both teenagers were unhurt — just a little cold.
