The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports that Alaska State Troopers and Bureau of Land Management rangers responded to three calls reporting the overdue travelers on Tuesday.

Troopers found one couple -- Martha Lacher and her husband, who troopers did not name -- on a trail near Haystack Mountain at about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.

They found another couple, Linda Dominick and Stephen Davis, at a cabin shortly before 8 p.m. Tuesday. Troopers and BLM rangers found the third couple, Jonathon and Elizabeth Jachim, on a trail at about 1 a.m. Wednesday.

Troopers said all may have suffered some frostbite and experienced early stages of hypothermia before they were rescued.
