TUCSON - Two people got into a life threatening situation while hiking Saturday.

The married couple were at Finger Rock Trail when they called 9-1-1.

They said they were out of water and dehydrated.

Pima County Sheriff's Department search and rescue crews tracked them down using the GPS on their cell phone.

A helicopter lifted them to a waiting medical response team.

They were treated and then they drove home.
