El Paso County Search & Rescue found two hikers lost on the west side of Pikes Peak. Teller County Sheriff's officials say they are not injured.

The hikers, a couple in their 40s, apparently got lost while on a hike from the Crags campground in Teller County to the Saddle of Pikes Peak. Rescuers say the couple, who are from Cleveland, OH, posted their plans to hike that route Monday afternoon on their Twitter feed.

Friends got worried when the couple did not return when they said they would.

Earlier Monday night, El Paso Search & Rescue helped a woman off of a mountain trail after she got lost while on the Barr Trail, which starts in Manitou Springs.

No injuries have been reported, but according to rescuers, the woman does suffer from asthma.

"Friends got worried when the couple had retured when they said they would." Come on KKTV. This is poor, even by your standards.

How do you get lost on Barr Trail? It's as wide as a freeway. Good luck for the couple going in from the West side. Hope they thought ahead and packed some warm gear. Be prepared people... you don't plan on getting lost.
