Two hikers who were lost on Cascade Mountain in New York after ingesting hallucinogenic mushrooms called 911 to report their hiking companion was dead on Saturday, May 24.
Turns out, the other hiker was still very much alive.
According to New York Department of Environmental Conservation officials, forest rangers received a report of a deceased hiker on Cascade Mountain at 9 a.m. on Saturday, May 24.
Two hikers had called 911 to report the third member of their hiking party had died.
When the hikers encountered the Cascade summit steward, the pair said that they were lost.
The steward determined the hikers were in an altered mental state.
The third member of their hiking party called and reported he was not injured.
A forest ranger escorted the two hikers, who had ingested hallucinogenic mushrooms, to a waiting ambulance and another ranger escorted the third hiker back to their campsite.
