  • On June 22, Placer County officials found the bodies of three men who had jumped into the waters at Rattlesnake Falls close to Soda Springs and did not come back to the surface.
  • The search began after deputies received a call shortly before 3 p.m. on June 18 reporting the three men missing from a group of six hikers.
  • Search teams faced strong currents, debris, poor underwater visibility, and unsafe flying conditions caused by high winds, which suspended operations on June 20.
  • The sheriff's office confirmed that the three men’s bodies have been located and expressed deep sympathy for their families, friends, and everyone impacted by this tragedy, while also highlighting that the remote and difficult terrain complicated the rescue operations.
  • Authorities plan to continue limited search efforts with enhanced equipment and mutual aid support as conditions improve, emphasizing the danger of cold water after a long hike in June.
