It happened Friday afternoon along the Mumford Bar Trail, about 20 miles from Foresthill. According to the Placer County Sheriff's Office, the hikers lost the trail and ran out of food.
Crews located the hikers early the next morning, but due to their condition, they were airlifted to safety.
"There are places all across Placer County and the Sierra where you're not prepared for what you're about to encounter. So educating yourself on that, really reading up on the trails, and knowing what you're getting into before you do something is paramount," said Elise Soviar, a spokesperson for the sheriff's office.
