Search and Rescue volunteers out of Fort Saint James are happy to report the safe return of a lost hiker. 

Fort St. James Search and Rescue, in a recent Facebook post, shared that an experienced hiker found himself lost on Shas Mountain, an area known for its rocky cliffs and with a trailhead only accessible by canoe.

The hiker immediately called the RCMP when he realized he was lost, provided his co-ordinates and remained in place.

Interior Helicopters helped the team bring home the lost hiker before nightfall.
