Ranger Rescue In Newcomb

A ranger rescue in the Town of Newcomb. Two hikers called 911 requesting a helicopter ride down from Allen Mountain. The 19- and 35-year-old hikers did not have headlamps, a map, a compass, or adequate food and water. Rangers reached the hikers and found the pair hypothermic and dehydrated and rangers provided warm clothing and food, and helped the hikers down to the trailhead. This was the pair’s first attempt at a high peak.
