BEND, OR -- A California woman was injured while hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, Sunday afternoon, prompting a five-hour Deschutes County Search and Rescue operation.
The 64-year-old San Diego woman called for help after she realized she couldn’t continue on the trail. Three SAR teams responded to the Elk Lake Trail Head, hiked in about two miles and brought her out on a wheeled litter. She later sought her own medical attention.
