Two French tourists had become stranded near the end of what was to be a three-month hiking adventure.
Two women were rescued from a ledge in the Beaufort Range on Wednesday by the Alberni Valley Rescue Squad.
Members of the group managed to make phone contact with the hikers and determined the best rescue option was to bring in a helicopter from Ascent Helicopters to get to the scene.
