A Truckee man who was hiking with two other men at night near Squaw Valley fell more than 100 feet down a cliff and died, Placer County sheriff’s officials said Thursday morning.
The trio was hiking Wednesday night in the area of Granite Chief, just west of Squaw Valley, when search and rescue crews were called to the area about 10pm for a fallen hiker.
