Pineda is considered at risk. The sheriff's office said that is because of her personal history and the terrain she was last seen at is treacherous.
The sheriff's office told KCRA 3 that search and rescue crews have been looking for her since Monday night, all day Tuesday and are continuing their efforts Wednesday morning. Crews are using ropes and other equipment because the area is remote and hard to access.

Mining camps are communities that house people who work in mines and are oftentimes located in remote areas. Many historic camps date back to the 1800s.
