Two teens hiking in the mountains of Southern California were rescued after being trapped for nearly a week in snowy conditions, authorities said. The rescue came as Californians dug out of back-to-back snowstorms in the state's mountain communities, which were hit by as much as 10 feet of snow, The Associated Press reported. According to a news release from the San Bernardino Sheriff's Office, Riley Ramirez, 17, of Cypress, California, and Cole White, 17, of Portland, Oregon, were rescued after getting lost on the Pacific Crest Trail near the San Gorgonio Mountain.
