8/27/26 - Sheriff’s Office SAR helps Rescue person stuck on Mt. Yoran On August 26th a little after 11:00am Lane County Sheriff’s Search & Rescue (SAR) learned of a person stuck on Mt. Yoran. The individual was alone but uninjured. The person advised they became trapped on a ledge while descending and provided GPS coordinates of their location. Lane County Sheriff’s Search & Rescue volunteers with Eugene Mountain Rescue responded to assist. Just before 10:00pm SAR volunteers confirmed the individual was off the mountain and safely back at their vehicle. Unfortunately, these types of situations occur frequently. Rescues and recoveries are only possible because of the many volunteers the Sheriff’s Office employs. These volunteers train rigorously for all circumstances and often must respond at a moment's notice. The Lane County Sheriff’s Office is so thankful for all the men and women who donate their time to make Lane County a safer place. To learn more about our Search & Rescue program or to donate to their work visit our website at: www.lanecountyor.gov/government/county_departments/sheriff_s_office/l_c_s_o_s_o_search_and_rescue The Lane County Sheriff’s Office wants everyone to recreate safely, so please remember: ⛰️Always tell someone where you are going and when you plan to return. 🌨️Know conditions before you leave - rain in the valley can mean ice up high! ⛺Be prepared to stay out overnight - even if you don't plan to get out of your car. 🗺️Bring maps for offline navigation - cell service can be spotty! 🌊If you go on the water, ALWAYS wear a life jacket! 🛑If you become lost, STAY PUT! Find a way to signal or make your location visible. Always carry a whistle and flashlight in the outdoors – it just might save your life.Photos from Lane County Sheriff's Office's post Featured News by Lane County Sheriff
