At 1630 hours the Team was called to assist in locating a 22-year-old male hiker separated from his hiking party east of Shadow Lake on the Shadow Creek Trail. The prearranged meeting place was to be Red’s Meadow Pack Station.

The Team staged at Minaret Vista, and field teams were shuttled down to several trailheads around Devils Postpile National Monument. Shortly thereafter the subject was located at the Soda Springs Campground, and he was reunited with his party at Red’s Meadow. The operation terminated at 1807 hours.
