Rescue team saves hiker 100 yards deep in Lava Tube cave at Snow Canyon State Park
IVINS, Utah (ABC4) — A rescue team lifted a hiker that was 100 yards deep in a Lava Tube cave at Snow Canyon State Park on Saturday.
On May 31, crews from Santa Clara-Ivins Fire & Rescue, along with Washington County Search & Rescue, responded to Snow Canyon State Park to rescue an individual stuck 100 yards deep in a Lava Tube cave.
The rescue was considered technical — requiring a High Angle Rope Rescue team to extricate the individual. The rescue took around four hours to complete, officials said.
Crews conducted another rescue the same day. A hiker had reportedly ran out of water in triple-digit temperatures. This heat-related emergency took around one hour to complete, officials said.
