They called 911 as darkness fell on them sooner than anticipated.
North Shore Rescue team leader Mike Danks said crews located the man and woman near a trail called Magic Kingdom, about 600 metres up Mount Seymour, and were walked out safely at 8 p.m.
The pair was not injured but cold, because they weren’t dressed for the weather after the sun went down. They were wearing sneakers and did not have a flashlight.
