Day hike turns into overnighter for Utah hikers

The four set out yesterday afternoon from Neff's Canyon and began hiking up the north face of the peak. The group got stuck on a cliff and called for help, but crews had to wait until daylight to start the rescue.

Rescuers brought in ropes so they could rappel to the hikers and then get them out.

None of the hikers was injured.
