Search-and-rescue teams have located three hikers who went missing in the Superstition Mountains Sunday night.

A Pinal County Sheriff's Office spokesperson said the group was found uninjured -- just tired, cold and wet -- around 8:39 a.m. Monday.

The hikers set off on Sunday morning but never returned.

A woman reportedly received a text from her boyfriend around 3 p.m. that said he and two others were lost in the mountains. She attempted to search on her own, but called officials for help around 6 p.m. 

PCSO said their teams remained on the ground through the night, searching in rain and fog to find the group. Aerial search attempts were delayed due to the fog.
