In a Remarkable Rescue Operation, Hiker Saved from Frigid Conditions in New Hampshire’s White Mountains

In a dramatic turn of events amidst the scorching heat wave across the East Coast, a 55-year-old hiker from Texas was successfully rescued from the harsh and icy conditions of New Hampshire’s White Mountains on Friday evening.

Caroline Wilson, a resident of Austin, Texas, was discovered hypothermic and unresponsive on the Gulfside Trail, just about a mile north of the Cog Railway tracks while hiking Mount Washington, the highest peak in New England, as reported by the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department.

Wilson’s husband contacted 911 at 5 p.m. after she became incapacitated during the hike, unable to move or communicate.

Conservation Officer Rachael Stocker, who took part in the rescue mission, mentioned that Wilson was wearing cotton base layers, a less ideal choice for hiking due to its sweat-absorbent nature. The intermittent rain on Friday worsened the situation, leading to Wilson suffering from severe hypothermia.

“The White Mountains can be pretty unforgiving,” Stocker remarked. “Weather changes here in a flash.” Images from the rescue scene depict the misty surroundings and steep rocky terrain.

New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, along with various search and rescue teams and Mount Washington Cog Railway personnel, coordinated a challenging response in the harsh alpine conditions to save Wilson.

Despite the heat wave in lower altitudes, conditions above 5,000 feet in the White Mountains were starkly different. On Mount Washington’s summit, temperatures were around 20 degrees Fahrenheit, with winds reaching 120 mph and dense clouds limiting visibility.

Multiple hikers in the area were reported to be suffering from hypothermia throughout the day.

The Cog Railway played a crucial role in the rescue, transporting teams up the mountain and avoiding a strenuous three-mile climb via the Jewell Trail.

The initial rescue team reached the ridgeline at 7 p.m., followed by a second team an hour later. Battling harsh winds and cold, rescuers constructed a temporary shelter to stabilize Wilson before carrying her back to the awaiting train.

Upon reaching the base station, Wilson was transferred to a Twin Mountain ambulance and taken to Littleton Regional Healthcare for further treatment.

The successful outcome was attributed to the relentless efforts of rescue volunteers and the continuous support of the Cog Railway in emergency situations.

“The weather conditions were challenging and potentially life-threatening,” a department spokesperson stated, “but each team responded promptly and bravely endured the harsh weather to save the life of this hiker.”
