NORTH ELBA — New York State Department of Environmental Conservation forest rangers were called in to rescue an injured hiker on 4,714-foot Mount Colden Sunday night.
The hiker had fallen and was unable to walk, according to a report by Essex County Emergency Dispatch Sunday afternoon.
At 9:30 p.m., a forest ranger dispatcher said rescuers had reached the unidentified victim and were preparing to head out of the woods shortly. That effort was expected to take several hours.
Snow fell heavily throughout the afternoon and evening on Sunday in the Adirondacks. Adirondack Regional Airport reported a temperature of 7 degrees at about 10 p.m.
