Three people have been rescued from Bluff Knoll after they were stranded on Saturday night, marking the third rescue effort in three weeks.

Emergency services were contacted at 7pm on Saturday by a female hiker who had become lost near Bluff Knoll in the Stirling Range National Park.

The hiker, a 32-year-old woman, was in a group with two other hikers, a 71-year-old man and a 56-year old woman.

The trio were uninjured.

The group advised Gnowangerup Police they had adequate equipment and supplies to camp overnight in the Range.

The hiking group were transferred to a location near Chester Pass Road where they received assessment by St John WA Ambulance.

A video — supplied to police by the hikers — shows the steep rocky terrain where the group was stranded.
