LINCOLN, N.H. - Two hikers who became lost following a trail on Little Haystack Mountain were brought to safety by officers from the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department on Monday evening.

Officials say they hiked 1 1/4 miles up the Falling Waters Trail to rescue hikers Radu Gyorgy and his 10-year-old daughter, who had wandered off the trail. The two hikers had most of their essential survival gear, but not a map, authorities say.

According to conservation officials, the two were able to call police for help at about 5 p.m., and officials guided them back onto the trail and located them before 7 p.m.

The Fish and Game Department reminds hikers to always pack appropriate gear before embarking on a hike.
