It's that time of the year again as spring run off creates high river flows, making crossings extremely dangerous. Two hikers drowned while trying to cross a river in Rainier:
The victims, described as a Washington state couple in their 40s, were trying to cross Ipsut Creek on a log Monday morning when the woman slipped, park spokeswoman Lee Taylor said. Their hiking companion, an unidentified woman, searched for them unsuccessfully then hiked several miles, eventually running into two Park Service employees who called for help at midmorning.
