Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office Search & Rescue is currently searching for two lost hikers near the Paradise Park Trail.
Paradise Park Trail is located near Kiwanis Camp Road, in a rural area near Rhodendron, Oregon.
A group of six hikers had reportedly been hiking the Paradise Park Trail yesterday (Tuesday, Oct. 1); when four of the hikers returned to their cars around 2:30 p.m., they realized both 71-year-old Anna Jung and 71-year-old Suki Jung were missing from the group.
The area is made of up of steep terrain, dense forest and many other leading trailheads. This makes it challenging for rescue crews to search the area.
The Sheriff’s Office is currently searching the area with the help from Pacific Northwest Search and Rescue, Washington County Sheriff’s Office Explorer Post 877, Mountain Wave, and Portland Mountain Rescue.
More updates will follow as the search continues.
