PINKHAM NOTCH — During the early morning hours of Wednesday, conservation officers from the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department conducted a rescue effort on behalf of a wet and cold hiker from Quebec who was stuck off trail next to the Ellis River.
At about 10:45 p.m. Tuesday, according to a release issued by Conservation Officer Rachael Stocker, officers “received a call from 911 indicating that a young woman was wet, cold and stuck down a steep embankment along the Ellis River adjacent to the Tuckerman Ravine Trail. Attempted callbacks to the hiker were unsuccessful and authorities quickly mobilized to avoid the dangers of a hypothermic situation. Temperatures in Pinkham Notch hovered around 52 degree at the time of the call, with lower temps expected prior to dawn.”
