What to do if you are lost on a hike

Chena Hot Springs Resort boasts several miles of hiking trails around the area at varying levels of difficulty but warns that there is no cellphone reception on the trails, it is easy to get lost and bear and moose encounters are possible.

The United States Forest Service recommends that lost hikers follow the S.T.O.P. protocol.

• Stop: Once someone realizes they are lost they should stop and not move unless they have a reason to.
• Think: Attempt to remember landmarks or previous points on the hike. Stay calm, panic is the greatest enemy.
• Observe: Use any tools available to determine direction. Hikers should remain on trails if they are on one.
• Plan: Come up with possible plans and utilize one if confident in it. Be mindful of the remaining daylight and if nightfall is near stay put.

The Forest service also recommends avoiding hiking to the point of exhaustion and to stay hydrated.
