Spooky Season For Cape Cod Hikers On NH's Frankenstein Cliff Trail

HARTS LOCATION, NH — Spooky season got a little too real for two Cape Cod hikers on a New Hampshire trail earlier this week.

On Oct. 9 around 7 p.m., New Hampshire Fish and Game was notified of two hikers who had managed to get off trail on the Frankenstein Cliff Trail and were not prepared with lights, officials said.

The two 24-year-old residents were from East Sandwich and West Dennis, respectively. They were hiking the Frankenstein Cliff Trail when they found themselves unable to reacquire the trail, officials said.

At approximately 8:45 p.m., conservation officers along with volunteers from Lakes Region Search and Rescue hiked up to the location where the two hikers were believed to be.

At approximately 9:50 p.m., contact was made with the two unharmed hikers. They were given lights and escorted back to the trailhead.
