An injured hiker was rescued Sunday from Daniels Park in Douglas County after falling 20 feet from an overlook rock, South Metro Fire Rescue officials said.
The agency responded to reports of an injured hiker in Daniels Park just before 3:45 p.m. Sunday, according to a 4 p.m. statement on social media.
South Metro officials said crews had to create a “technical rescue plan” to extract the hiker by rope. The hiker, an unidentified adult, was taken to the hospital with unknown injuries.
A video posted by South Metro Fire Rescue shows crews hoisting the injured hiker up through a 150-foot pulley system and carrying the hiker out of the park on a stretcher.
No additional information about the rescue was available Sunday evening.
