Two hikers in the Columbia River Gorge were on the Gorton creek Trail near Wyeth Friday afternoon when they found an injured man.
They were about a mile from the trailhead and tried to help the man hike out, but his injuries were too severe.
The Hood River County Sheriff s Office along with Oregon State Police and Cascade Locks Fire responded to help the man.
He told them he started hiking in the area on Tuesday. He had fallen down a 50-foot cliff and may have had other falls during that time.
The hiker s injuries were severe enough that rescuers weren t able to carry him out, so they request a helicopter extraction.
