The three men had been hiking in Soda Springs, Calif., when they jumped into the water near Rattlesnake Falls, a remote and isolated area that made rescue difficult.
The bodies of three hikers who disappeared after they jumped into the water at Rattlesnake Falls in Soda Springs, Calif., last week were found on Sunday, the authorities said, ending a multiday search that had been hampered by rough terrain and bad conditions.
The men, who had been hiking with three other people, jumped into the water on Wednesday, but did not resurface, the Placer County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement posted online.
The three other hikers used a satellite phone to text 9-1-1 for help around 3 p.m. after the men did not reappear, Elise Soviar, the sheriff’s office communication manager, said on Monday.
