Memorial Day might be two weeks away, but winter hasn't loosened its grip on higher elevations just yet, something two hikers learned the hard way on Thursday when they attempted to summit New Hampshire's Mt Washington and ended up calling mountain rescue.
According to a news release by the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, the two Canadian hikers called 911 at approximately 5:18 p.m. reporting that they were wet, tired, and unable to continue due to deep snow and limited visibility of the trail, conditions for which they were ill-equipped.
