This afternoon at 2 pm, PCSAR received a call to Tunnel Ridge Road for an 18 year old hiker who reportedly fell approximately 50 feet near Arch of Triumph. He was able to get back up the cliff with assistance from his party, and walked out the short distance to the ambulance. Powell County Emergency Medical Services then transported him on to nearby hospital. Thanks to Red STAR Wilderness EMS for responding. Be safe out there friends.
After an ambulance passed us on Tunnel Ridge Rd. we pulled off, in case of more emergency response vehicles. We saw several of your people drive past us (expertly avoiding the potholes). We had no idea what was happening up ahead so we just waited until they came back through so as not to potentially be in anyone's way. We are super relieved to hear that everyone is ok! Thank you for being there!
Hope the hiker is going to be alright!!! Thanks for all y'all do!!!

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.
