An injured hiker was rescued from Dog Mountain on Friday after falling about 300 feet down a steep hillside from the designated trail near the summit. The Skamania County Sheriff’s Office says rescue personnel found the 63-year-old from Hillsboro unconscious and unresponsive. Due to both the steep terrain and the medical conditions of the injured hiker, a U.S. Army medical helicopter was utilized to recover the hiker, who was then flown to Southwest Washington Medical Center in Vancouver. The Sheriff’s Office says the hiker is in stable condition. The Silver Star Search and Rescue Team, Skamania County Emergency Medical Services, Skamania County Fire District 1, the U.S. Army 16th Combat Aviation Brigade out of Yakima, and the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center took part in the rescue. The Dog Mountain Trail is about six miles in length and goes up about 2,900 feet, so the Skamania County Sheriff’s Office recommends anyone hiking there to be properly equipped and know their limitations.
