Injured Hiker Flown from South Sister

 

SISTERS, OR -- A Portland woman was hurt while hiking South Sister, Thursday, prompting a Deschutes County Search and Rescue operation. Brian Gray called 911, just after 1 p.m. to report his wife Jennifer was unable to continue, due to her injury. 

 

Air Link flew two SAR volunteers to the hikers’ location, at about 8,100-feet. They loaded the 45-year-old woman on to the helicopter, which then took her to St. Charles Bend for treatment while other SAR members hiked with her group back to the Devil’s Lake trailhead.
