CONWAY — Rescuers braved blustery conditions in the Presidential Range on Saturday to help a Massachusetts woman who fell while hiking nearly five miles from the nearest road.

The call reporting 46-year-old Suzanne Chiarito, of Arlington, Mass., had fallen on slippery rocks reached Fish and Game officers at 12:30 p.m. Saturday, according to a statement from Sgt. Mark Ober. Chiarito had been hiking the Gulfside Trail from the Madison Spring Hut toward the Lakes of the Clouds, but her exact location was unknown. Initial reports indicated her injuries were significant enough she could not walk and would need to be carried off the mountain.
