It says this guy was hiking from the lower tram station to the upper one. I have read of others on this route(?), has anyone here attempted (or completed) it? For the record, I am not interested in trying.

The geography seems off. Going from the bottom
Tram station to the top will not put you anywhere near Willow Creek, the area the article says the rescue took place in.

I have not heard of any trails from the lower tram station to the upper one. It would be a serious technical climb. It sounds like it was above the upper station or somewhat close to it.

so Hal..Willow creek drainage ? is that on the east side of the mountain ?

Yea, none of that makes any since to me..

Newspapers. How come it seems that almost every time I read about something I actually have some knowledge about, the paper is incorrect?

[bluerail]

it's Tinas fault

I was sleeping soooo good till I got called out at 2am, 45min later after a few red bulls I was told hikers were on there way down and go back to sleep. lol Yea ok.

Glad every thing turned out ok.

They were probably on Skyline. Willow Creek sounds like a red herring unless they really got off track.

Freaking clueless journalists. (Hi, Tina)

Well Willow Creek drains into Tahquitz Creek. Could they have been coming up that old trail? But 2 separate hikers on that very rarely used route, and they got lost at the top?

[bluerail]

unlikely right ?

anybody on here go up that trail ?? PLMK
