Teen Hiker Rescued After 100-Foot Fall | Portland News
Description
A 17-year-old hiker plunged 100 feet down a cliff on the Elowah Falls Trail, suffering critical injuries in a harrowing Monday night accident. Emergency crews deployed technical rope systems and a specialized basket to extract him from the steep, creek-lined terrain — a painstaking operation requiring over a dozen rescuers from multiple agencies, including the Green Hornets and Pacific Northwest Search and Rescue. The teen remains hospitalized Tuesday with no further details on his condition or the cause of the fall, serving as a sobering reminder to tread carefully in the wild.
