❄ There is even MORE snow in the mountains! ❄ On Sunday evening, Lane County Sheriff’s Search & Rescue volunteers responded to the area of Mt. Yoran, north of Diamond Peak, to search for an overdue hiker who had been in the backcountry for 3 days. Searchers located the hiker in good health, but out of water. He was guided back to his vehicle at a nearby snow park. Please plan accordingly if you choose to enjoy the snow off of maintained roads! Also follow these tips to stay safe when you explore the outdoors in our county: ⛰️Always tell someone where you are going and when you plan to return. 🌨️ Know conditions before you leave - rain in the valley can mean ice up high! ⛺ Be prepared to stay out overnight - even if you don't plan to get out of your car. 🗺️ Bring maps for offline navigation - cell service can be spotty! 🌊 If you go on the water, ALWAYS wear a life jacket! 🛑 If you become lost, STAY PUT! Find a way to signal or make your location visible. Always carry a whistle and flashlight in the outdoors – it just might save your life. Nearly every week, Lane County Sheriff's Search & Rescue deputies and volunteers assist our residents and visitors in all types of environments.
