The body of 22-year-old Lefei Huang was recovered Sunday night in the Mount Baldy area of the San Gabriel Mountains, ending a week-long search after she went missing during a solo hike amid heavy snowfall.
Colorado here. I didn’t know, coming from warmer climates, that in a blizzard, visibility becomes very limited (by definition). I knew the low temperature and wind together are extremely dangerous. It’s bad enough encountering one in town much less outdoors on a hike.
Some people don’t really grasp how risky nature is and don’t do the necessary research and preparation before venturing out. Not sure if she was like that or not.
Either way, it sucks to see someone lose their life from something so easily avoided.
