SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Search and rescue calls are on the rise this spring along the Wasatch Front. KUER reports Salt Lake County Search and Rescue received about double the amount of calls in May that they did last year, a pattern exemplified when a hiker and a climber both died in a single weekend. Officials say a low snowpack and the pandemic could be to blame. Encountering snow can make people realize they are unprepared quickly, while warmer weather can entice people to go further than they normally would. In Utah County, a rise with the coronavirus pandemic is holding steady.
