His Approximate Location Was South of Skull Rock

LAFD rescued a hiker who was stranded in the dark, wet wilderness of the Santa Monica Mountains on Sunday night.
A little after 8 p.m., an LAFD helicopter located a male hiker deserted on a “rain-soaked” section of Temescal Ridge Trail. His approximate location was south of Skull Rock in Topanga State Park.
After the helicopter lowered a paramedic to perform a medical assessment, the hiker stated he was uninjured, according to LAFD. He was then hoisted aboard the aircraft and shuttled to a “safe location beyond the wilderness.”
