This incredible video shows the Utah DPS helicopter in action, rescuing a father and his 12 year old son from a steep cliffside in Snow Canyon.
The pair became lost while hiking and were trapped overnight. Search and rescue teams with Washington County Sheriff Search & Rescue worked through the night, and into the early morning hours, the helicopter crew located two stranded on a shallow ledge and hoisted them to safety. In a twist of fate, the hikers found a backpack left behind by another hiker previously rescued from the same area. Inside were food, water, and emergency blankets that the two were able to utilize.
