12 JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON, Alaska Alaska Air National Guardsmen of the 176th Wing partnered with multiple civil search and rescue partners to rescue a hiker injured in a fall on May 26 near Kennicott, Alaska.
National Park Service contacted the Alaska Rescue Coordination Center at 6:20 p.m. on May 26 to notify them of the incident and request a hoist-capable aircraft be on standby. Snow conditions and steep terrain on Donoho Mountain made it impossible for the National Park Service A-Star helicopter to reach the injured hiker, and at 8:05 p.m. the NPS requested Air National Guard support.
“The patient lost footing and rolled hundreds of feet down a snow-covered slope near Donoho Peak in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve,” said Park Ranger and Incident Commander Stephens Harper. “The fall triggered a snow slide which then carried the patient over a cliff into a ravine.”
