A search is underway in Yosemite National Park in California after two hikers failed to return to their campsite on Saturday, authorities said.
The two hikers, identified as Miguel Delgado, 63, and Ana Rodarte, 40, were last seen leaving Bridal Veil Creek Campground around 10 a.m., the National Park Service (NPS) said in a statement Sunday.
Authorities said they were believed to have been on a day hike to Lake Ostrander and were expected to return within a few hours, but as of Monday morning the hikers had not returned.
Fox Digital reached out to the National Park Service for additional information about the search for the hiker and his likely route, but did not immediately receive a response.
