The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department search and rescue team and helicopter are searching for a 21-year-old Corona woman who was reported missing late Thursday by her hiking companions.

Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Cindy Beavers said the group was hiking to the summit of San Gorgonio Peak Thursday afternoon. The woman stopped about halfway up and the rest of the group continued on without her, Beavers said.

Update: More info.

Grace Hilario, 21, of Corona, was reported missing at 11 p.m. Thursday.[...]

A helicopter was unable to go up until this morning, due to lightning storms in the area, Beavers said.

This morning, the searchers are combing the trails and have placed trail blocks in hopes of locating the hiker.

Hilario has some food and water, but no tent or shelter, Beavers said. Friends said she's only been out hiking a few times, Beavers said.
