Deputy Tony Moore says the hikers were near the upper waterfall of the Eaton Canyon trail near Pasadena in the Angeles National Forest on Sunday when they got stuck and were unable to move.
Members of a sheriff's Emergency Services Detail team were lowered from a helicopter and rescued each victim from the cliff face.
Moore says none of the hikers were hurt and all three were released at the scene.
