State park rangers found three missing hikers late Saturday night, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department reported.


Authorities say Elaine Pham, 37, Cady Nguyen, 26, and Thi Nguyen, 23, all of Westminster, were separated from family members Saturday in the wilderness area of Mount San Jacinto State Park and were last seen around 7:50 p.m., officials said.

The women were found about 11:45 p.m. Saturday on the Cornell Trail about an hour from the mountain station of the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. They were in good health, said officials.

They reached the top of the tram about 12:30 a.m. and returned to their vehicles at the valley station, the sheriff's officials said. All three women declined medical treatment, officials said.
