Two lost hikers were led back to safety by the Greeneville Emergency & Rescue Squad and Greene County Sheriff’s Department Friday night.
A male and female contacted 9-1-1 around 11:30 pm to say they had gotten off the trail near the Black Stack Cliffs on Viking Mountain. They were not injured but they were unsure of their exact location and how to get back to their car.
Greene County Sheriff’s Deputy C. H. Jessie, and Cherokee National Forest employee and Rescue Squad volunteer Gabbie Holt reached the couple around 12:30 am. Sheriff Wesley Holt also responded.
