MidHudson News is reporting forest rangers from the state Department of Environmental Conservation last week rescued a hiker who fell downhill off Devil’s Path on Sugarloaf Mountain in Hunter. At 12:30 p.m., on June 18, Greene County 911 received a report of an injured 19-year-old hiker from New Jersey, on Sugarloaf Mountain. The man was hiking with two friends on the Devil’s Path from Prediger Road when an SOS beacon was activated. GPS coordinates placed him on the west side of the mountain approximately a half mile from Mink Hollow Notch. The man reportedly fell on the rocky trail and then about 20 feet downhill off the trail. He temporarily lost consciousness and later reported arm and wrist pain. The hikers met up with forest rangers and a paramedic at Mink Hollow Notch. At 2:35 p.m., the hiker was taken to the hospital for additional medical care. Read the full story at MidHudsonNews [dot] com.
