Arizona hiker rescued twice in as many days from mountain trails

Flagstaff, Ariz. — A 28-year-old New York man needed to be rescued twice on consecutive days while hiking in a northern Arizona mountain range, authorities said.

The Brooklyn man, whose name hasn't been released, first called 911 on Wednesday at about 7 p.m. to say he got lost while hiking on Humphreys Trail in the San Francisco Peaks north of Flagstaff, Coconino County Sheriff's officials said.

The trail runs through some 5-and-a-half miles of steep, rocky terrain between the Arizona Snowbowl ski resort and Humphreys Peak, the state's highest point with an elevation of 12,633 feet.
