Hiker Rescued At Chimney Rock

On August 13th, a man and his family went on a hike to the Chimney Rock overlook. While hopping between the house-sized boulders there, he lost his footing and fell between two rock formations. Area technical rescue teams responded to assist park rangers with emergency care. A Maryland state helicopter performed a short-haul extrication of the injured man, who suffered lacerations to his face and abdomen and a possible broken leg.
