Answer:
The bodies of three hikers were found at the scene of an avalanche in southern Alaska on Wednesday, the authorities said.
Just before midnight on Tuesday, the police were notified of three overdue hikers near Bear Mountain in Chugiak, an area about 20 miles northeast of Anchorage, according to the Alaska Department of Public Safety.
The group was using a “more technical route” to ascend Bear Mountain, “not the normal hiking trail,” Austin McDaniel, a public information officer for the department, said on Thursday.
The hikers were identified as Thomas Devine, 54, of Chugiak; Matthew Nyman, 43, of Colorado Springs; and Edward Watson, 50, of Miami. They were last heard from on Tuesday morning before their hike and were expected to return to a parking area by 5 p.m. that day, the authorities said.
