Local officials have announced that two hikers who went missing in Yosemite National Park over the weekend have been found alive.

The hikers, identified by park officials as Miguel Delgado, 63, and Ana Rodarte, 40, set off on a day hike at 10 a.m. local time on Saturday, Aug. 3, according to a statement from Yosemite National Park officials.

That morning, the pair left Bridalveil Creek Campground and were "possibly" headed towards Ostrander Lake, authorities said.

The entire hike was only supposed to take a "couple of hours." Instead, they never returned.

However, in a email to PEOPLE on Monday, Aug. 5, officials said that the hikers had "JUST been found and are alive." Additional details, including whether they were injured, were not immediately known.
