Salt Lake County, Utah — On Sunday a hiker was injured and required rescue while searching for treasure.
According to Salt Lake County Search and Rescue, the 49-year-old man was with his family near the Ferguson Canyon overlook when a large rock fell on his foot, requiring emergency assistance from Salt Lake County Search and Rescue at around 7 p.m. Five teams were sent up to carry the man down the canyon and to the parking lot.
Salt Lake County Search and Rescue say the $10,000 in cash was hidden in the Wasatch Front by two men over a week ago. The search for money has led many residents with dreams of riches in their heads to venture unprepared into the backcountry.
“Our team ran into several other groups of hikers all looking for the same treasure, most were unprepared to be in the backcountry and asked our team for water on the trail. Please make sure that you’re going into the mountains prepared with the 10 essentials at a minimum, don’t hike alone, and let family or friends know where you are and when to expect you back,” wrote Salt Lake County Search and Rescue.
