<p>Two bodies discovered in Joshua Tree National Park are thought to be a pair of southern California hikers missing since July.<br />
The discovery of two embracing bodies in Joshua Tree National Park on Sunday may finally give some answers to the families of a pair hikers who have been missing for nearly three months.<br />
Hikers discovered the bodies in a remote region of the California park on Sunday, the <a href="https://www.nps.gov/jotr/learn/news/newsreleases.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Park Service </a>said in a press release. Joseph Orbeso, 21, and Rachel Nguyen, 20, were last heard from on July 27.<br />
Earlier this summer, search teams found their car near the Maze Loop trailhead. Their luggage was still at the Airbnb they rented and their last known contact was a cell phone ping in the area, <a href="http://www.kesq.com/news/top-stories/bodies-found-in-joshua-tree-national-park-likely-those-of-missing-hikers-source-confirms/638428207" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CBS</a> reported.<br />
Orbeso’s father, Gilbert, searched sections of the park for months with friends of the couple and authorities. They made a breakthrough Sunday as they scaled 30-foot cliffs and covered new ground. They came across clothing, food wrappers and water bottles that led them to the bodies, according to California-based ABC station <a href="http://abc7.com/bodies-believed-to-be-socal-hikers-found-embracing-at-joshua-tree/2538618/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KABC.</a></p>

<p>The bodies were embracing each other, Gilbert Orbeso told KABC.<br />
The remains were picked up by a helicopter and sent to the San Bernardino coroner&#8217;s office to confirm the identities.But Gilbert Orbeso is already certain they are his son and his son’s girlfriend.</p>

<p>&#8220;I feel that we have closure and we know we found them,” Gilbert Orbeso told KABC. “(I) hope they can rest in peace now.&#8221;<br />
<a href="http://www.foxnews.com/travel/2016/10/21/how-many-people-actually-die-in-national-parks.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a> reports that just over 1,000 deaths [excluding suicides], have occurred in National Parks in the last decade, according, most of them as a result of drowning or motor vehicle accidents. In Joshua Tree, where the pair of hikers tragically met their death this summer, temperatures dangerously topped 100 degrees.</p>
