(KSL News) Search and rescue crews were called out to look for two missing hikers this evening.

The Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office says two brothers, who are in their 30s, hiked Lone Peak near Draper this afternoon. On the way back down, they got lost and called for help on their cell phone.

A search helicopter spotted the two, but say they are in terrain that is too steep to land the helicopter. Crews most likely will drop supplies to the men and get them off the mountain in the morning.

The two were carrying food but no water.
