My family has lived in Baldy the last 60 years and that trail is a road that leads to the ski lifts, there is a trail that cuts off from that road that goes by the Sierra Hut and then further up to the top of Baldy and Devils Backbone. If she stayed on that road that is in the clip she took she would have been fine but if she veered off on the trail to the HUT then that could be where she got lost. Just down a little ways from the Sierra Hut there is a creek bed that has a couple of silver mines that at the end leads to a huge cliff. I hiked there with my cousin years ago and that drop off was terrifying, we had to crawl up the side of the mountain to get out of there and that was in the summer. My point being if she went off on a trail you can loose that trail quickly especially in winter. I pray she will be okay and found quickly.
@@bluetwo7282 It was easier hiking down but to go back up the way we originally went it was too hard and we found ourselves at the end of a creek bed that was a waterfall during heavy rain season. Even though it was dry when we hiked it we had to crawl back up the side of a cliff on our belly’s and I just remember looking back behind me and we were a hundred feet up from the bottom. I will never go there again. I’m just saying no body ever plans to get in a bad situation it just happens and you’re stuck or have to be rescued. Always Always stay on a road when you hike areas you’re not familiar with. Have fun but be safe. Prayers to the beautiful young woman’s family who lost her life up here🙏🏼❤️🫶🏼
As an Alaskan winter mild hiker/camper. My instinct tells me not to wonder too far away from the main road in case of an emergency, especially if you're not familiar with the area or the weather is really bad.
There should be a requirement for hikers to carry a personal size emergency locator beacon a lot of these tragedy's could be avoided. Like A rental for hiking Mt Baldy.
Isn't that what a cell could do? Ba able to track the phone at least. Isn't that something you do when your nervous? Hum to yourself ? Or when stalked by a slasher?
I bet she fell in a tree well, you won’t be able to move or scream because snow will just fall on you and you’ll become trapped. happens often enough and pretty devastating if that’s the case.
Yep. You can be as well prepared as you possibly can be... but you fall into a tree well with no one to see or hear you? You're as good as dead. Hopefully she is found alive - but I doubt it.
@@steve3po13 A tree well is the space around a tree under its branches that does not get the same amount of snow as the surrounding open space. This means the snow isn't quite as packed down under a tree, and there's a lot of air that hasn't escaped... you can fall in one and get totally buried. They're deadly.
Sad to say 😢I don’t think this story will end well. 😢😢Winter Nature is brutal , dangerous & often deadly. But we shall see how they Comes to an end, I hope they find her ❤
Almost died there 10 years ago. I did mountain biking on a trail that didn't really exist and fell off a cliff, I dangled on a rock for half an hour before finding the strength to climb back up. my bike fell 300 feet onto rocks. Never bought another mountain bike again. I think it took me almost two hours to walk back down the mountain, right before sunset and I saw my friends at the cars, Thank god if it was any later the darkness likely would've got me lost. I thought I was an experienced biker, but I went from my local trails straight to Mt. Baldy. I'll never try to attempt to do things that will risk my life again.
My husband and I backpacked in mount baldy and spent the night very high up. Our tent was surrounded by deer. It was eerie to be up there all secluded but beautiful. And yes, it can be a very treacherous hike so people have to be cautious
If she had a newer iPhone, she could have used the SOS button to get help even if there was no cellular access on the mountain. That said, I don’t know what kind of phone she had. She most likely fell and lost control of her phone when she did. She was hiking alone late in the day at about 7000 feet elevation and quickly the winds increased to 40 mph with heavy blowing snow, I am sure her visibility was zero. Sadly her surviving 5 days up there is very unlikely since she was only prepared for a day hike.
Hiking alone is fine. But trying to hike Mt. Baldy in winter with an impending snowstorm on the way is daft. Even if she'd had 5 people with her, they all would have died.
Poor woman I hope they find her. They should not have stopped the search. I feel so sorry for her sister. There must’ve been somewhere they could’ve rescued her. I don’t understand how they didn’t find her. This could’ve been prevented. I think I wish this girl didn’t have to suffer like this with her she’s Asian or not everyone deserves the same type of help in an emergency.
I hope hiker is found alive. Angeles national Forest/mt. Baldy needs to be closed to the public in the winter or at least during bad weather events... Too many deaths and missing people. I don't understand why they didn't, knowing the forecasted rain/snow, close the trail heads and take more preventative measures.
I hope Lifei Huang is found safe and sound and alive and well. Hiking in general is extremely dangerous and I would never do it and I honestly don’t think anyone should.
Even in the summer around Midway through that hike from the ski hut to the summit, I'm barely hanging on because the hillside is so steep. I can't even imagine doing it in winter alone. You're asking for it
It is very sad but at the same time i cannot understand why would someone hike in snow leisurely? I mean just go there, enjoy the view and go home. I read she went there 2pm. Does she plan to stay overnight? Just the thought of peeing in that weather removing that snow suit is not a nice experience. Is the goal to reach the top of the mountain like mt. Everest?
A 22-yr. old Asian going hiking by herself? That's just pure stupidity, and she didn't "vanish," she's missing because she was so far out of her element that she could've been a newborn and not be much more helpless out there. Prayers for her life, and if she lives, for her BRAIN to start working!!
If it is well known for deaths, especially during the winter, why don't they just close the trails for the season? sure people won't be happy about it but at least there won't be more deaths
People wouldn't listen anyway. Think by putting a chain across with keep out . Or posting signs saying dangerous conditions trails to remain closed until further notice. Would keep them off?
Hiking solo is risky and with the weather...when will ppl start using their brains. Experience or not i dont feel bad for stupid actions like this. This area is extremely dangerous already
You can't get lost in ur house or in ya bed i don't get the thrill of it at all but that's just me i pray they find her it's her sister with the positivity for me she could be right though shows like i survived and i shouldn't be alive do exist for a reason 🙏🙏
All mountains have snow after a certain altitude. California is huge and has many different climates and terrain. Did you think it all looked like Los Angeles?! 🤣🤦
Hiking alone, dumb Not checking the weather before a dangerous hike, dumb Not having a beacon or sat phone when doing the above 2, dumb Darwin for all of us, and these people found out what pre teen BOY SCOUTS already know.....SMDH
NEVER HIKE DEVILS BACKBONE DURING A SNOW STORM !!!!!!! NEEEVVEEERRR !! im experienced in hiking this area, but i even slipped near this area and almost flew off the mountain.. just wait until 60% melts up there
she was not prepared she went by herself into the backcountry I am sick and tired of these solo idiots need a price for messing with Mother Nature you knew the weather that was in that area for the last like 2 years it's been horrible

Odd that she was hiking that high up at 4 pm. Sunset is around 5 or so this time of year.

True, but if no one comes for hours, you can't stay there forever. You eventually need some sort of shelter and food.

Theres no invisible man in the sky granting wishes. Thats why she will freeze like an ice cream bar.
Amen❤
I really hope she’s okay ❤
She was found dead unfortunately
Don’t people check the weather forecast before heading out on a hike like that? It’s just common sense!
Common sense is not common anymore…
They do. Its called a challenge. People will always do dangerous things for the sake of achievement and to make life more meaningful.
@@Duran762 Not very meaningful if you’re dead and frozen on a mountain.

Is treacherous due to steep difficult to climb terrain ?
Her sister is in denial and can’t admit that she shouldn’t have been out there in those conditions.
I know this isn't a for sure thing but couldn't some some how track her phone? Hoping she's ok
