Woman And Her Dog Are Missing After Hike Near British Columbia’s Jumbo Pass

The Canadian Press, 15 Aug, 2018 10:55 AM

INVERMERE, B.C. — A woman and her dog have disappeared during a hike in Jumbo Pass in British Columbia's southeast.

Police say a group of six people were hiking in the area on Sunday when the woman from Cranbrook went for a short walk by herself and didn't return.

The hikers called for help on Monday by setting off a satellite activation device.

Police say 52-year-old Louise Baker was dressed for the conditions, but not equipped for the night.

She also took her golden poodle with her on a leash.

The area is steep and treacherous, so a helicopter is being used, in combination with help from search and rescue personnel from the Columbia Valley, Golden, Cranbrook, Kimberley and Creston.
