Two hikers lost and rescued off West Glacier Trail

Two out-of-town hikers got lost on West Glacier Trail on Tuesday night, according to Alaska State Troopers.

In an online dispatch, troopers identified the hikers as Enrico Solano, 41,  of Mexico and Lucas Pezzi, 28, of Argentina. They had hiked to the Mendenhall Glacier and couldn’t find the trail back.

Capital City Fire/Rescue launched a boat and found them on the lake’s shoreline. SEADOGS also helped with the rescue.
