Couple Rescued After 9 Days Stranded In Bighorns
Crews in Big Horn County, with the help of a Wyoming Army National Guard helicopter, rescued a couple after they were stranded in the Bighorn Mountains for nine days.
According to a news release, a man and a woman from Powell left the Porcupine Falls area last Sunday. After leaving, they ran out of food and water and one of the hikers was experiencing medical issues.
On Monday, the couple was able to make it into cell service and contacted authorities. They were stranded on a rimrock cliff area and could not carry on due to the extremely steep terrain.
