An injured hiker was rescued after falling on Friday afternoon from Ed’s Loop Trail near the summit of Silver Star Mountain.  The Skamania County Sheriff’s Office says 22-year-old Kylie Knitz of Woodland fell 25-feet from the designated trail, injured her arm, and was unable to climb up the steep embankment where she came to rest.  Members of the Sheriff’s Office Search & Rescue and the Volcano Rescue teams helped get the woman off the mountain with assistance of a fixed wing aircraft from the Portland Police Bureau Air Support Unit.  The Sheriff’s Office says Knitz was safely recovered and taken to a local hospital for treatment of injuries.
