The Coconino County Sheriff’s Office reports two rescues this week on Mount Elden in Flagstaff.
The first occurred Monday and involved a juvenile hiker in need of assistance. She was found off trail by a group of hikers and had apparently been there for several days. She was unable to walk out on her own. Search and rescue crews provided medical attention and assisted the girl to the Elden Lookout Tower where she was transported to Flagstaff Medical Center for care. On Wednesday, the Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call from an injured and stranded hiker on the Elden Lookout Trail. Search and Rescue, along with the Flagstaff Fire Department and Guardian Medical Transport, prepared a litter carry to the top of the mountain where the injured hiker was also transported to FMC for treatment.
