Officials in Las Vegas have taken to social media with a plea to be prepared for winter conditions after rescuing nine hikers on one trail in several weeks. They say that most of these hikers had set out without proper equipment for the trail, which is "heavily iced" at this time of year.
"LVMPD Search and Rescue (SAR) teams have conducted four operations in which 9 people were rescued in the past several weeks on South Loop Trail, many involving serious injuries due to icy conditions and lack of proper equipment."
