A group of hikers located human remains in the wilderness on Mt. Baldy on Saturday morning.

They say that the remains will not be identified until at least next week, said the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.

The discovery comes just a day after the family of actor Julian Sands, the British actor who went missing after setting out for a hike on Mt. Baldy, made a statement to remember their lost loved one. 

Sands is one of a number of hikers who went missing in the same area during winter months.

The massive mountain, which eclipses 4,100 feet in elevation, was severely impacted by a series of storms this winter, creating extremely dangerous conditions.
