According to a press release from the sheriff’s office, Cedar Communications received the call regarding the hikers at approximately 9:50 p.m.
“We were advised a 46-year-old male and 45-year-old female had left at approximately 1 p.m. to hike from the top of the Kanarra Falls area to the bottom,” Iron County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Del Schlosser said in the statement. “This area includes multiple rappels with ropes to complete.”

With the use of night vision, they were able to locate the man and woman in a slot canyon within a short amount of time.
