Hikers from Austin, Houston rescued from Oregon gorge

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Search and rescue crews were sent to the Columbia River Gorge Tuesday afternoon after 12 hikers were reported missing.
The distressed hikers from Texas were about a mile up from Multnomah Falls when they hit an unsteady snowfill and one of them fell into a hole.
“We knew that we couldn’t cross and kind of went through a steep snow cliff to get down there and we knew we couldn’t go back,” Shyan Gandhi said.
