Two hikers who were lost on Cascade Mountain in New York after ingesting hallucinogenic mushrooms called 911 to report their hiking companion was dead on Saturday, May 24.

Turns out, the other hiker was still very much alive.

According to New York Department of Environmental Conservation officials, forest rangers received a report of a deceased hiker on Cascade Mountain at 9 a.m. on Saturday, May 24.

Two hikers had called 911 to report the third member of their hiking party had died.

When the hikers encountered the Cascade summit steward, the pair said that they were lost.

The steward determined the hikers were in an altered mental state.

The third member of their hiking party called and reported he was not injured.

A forest ranger escorted the two hikers, who had ingested hallucinogenic mushrooms, to a waiting ambulance and another ranger escorted the third hiker back to their campsite.

Those mushrooms aren’t hallucinogenic for no good reason. 🙄

Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn’t seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, “My friend is dead! What can I do?” The operator says, “Calm down. I can help. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.” There is a silence; then a gun shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says, “OK, now what?”

They must have been ecstatic when they found out their friend was alive. The bad trip was wiped away.

I’ve climbed Cascade several times. Pretty view if the weather is clear.

What in the world is a “summit steward”? Is that like some guru who sits at the top of the mountain, enlightening those who seek him out?

The steward determined the hikers were in an altered mental state.

Easy call when one of them is trying to give CPR to a rotting log.
