CA hikers' woes showed danger of urban wilderness,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
(AP) In Southern California,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], where urban sprawl meets pristine wilderness, one can stand on a backwoods mountain trail and be so close to the city as to still hear the rumble of traffic and make out a downtown skyline.
Which is something,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], wilderness experts say, that can lead to a false sense of security.
Earlier this week, two teens hiking in a section of the rugged Cleveland National Forest that is only a couple miles from a shopping mall may have fallen victim to just that when they wandered off a trail and were lost for days.
Nicolas Cendoya and Kyndall Jack had planned a short Easter Sunday hike on a moderately easy trail in a section of the Cleveland National Forest that serves as the backyard for the suburban Orange County neighborhood where they live,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. They are recovering in Southern California hospitals,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
That's a scenario that should almost never happen, but it happens all the time in Southern California, said Mike Leum, who headed a team that hiked up a near vertical canyon wall on Thursday to rescue Jack from a small rock outcropping where the 18-year-old had taken refuge. And although the sprawling expanse of Southern California suburbia is clearly visible from the forest's ridgelines, in the canyon where they were trapped the brush was so thick they couldn't find a road that was just 500 feet away.
Although four national forests with more than 2,000 miles of hiking trails dot Southern California, experts remind that, while the area may be crisscrossed by freeways and filled with high-rise buildings,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that's wilderness people are heading into and they need to be as prepared for it as they would be entering a backcountry area that's a hundred miles from a city.
There's no excuse,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they say, for not bringing sufficient water, decent hiking shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], proper clothes and other provisions.
"I'm not saying take a burro and have it loaded down with supplies," said Ron Silverman, senior director of the Sierra Club's Angeles chapter. "But what I am saying is think it through. If you're going for just an hour, you want a full bottle of water. And you don't want to take a sip and leave it in the car because you don't want to carry it with you. Bring the bottle."
But most importantly, say Silverman and others,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], don't go off the marked trail, no matter how good a hiker you think you are and not matter how close to civilization you may be. It was put there by other experienced hikers who marked it for a reason, to keep people from getting lost in areas they may get trapped in.
Such advice is often posted on forest websites and at ranger stations but Silverman said people often don't follow them,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sometimes because they figure it's just a short time.
Other times there are other reasons involved.
"Some people, they just want to get adventurous," said Silverman. "It's that sense of adventure, that 'Oh, I can do that,' that gets people into trouble.
