Coast Guard rescues injured hiker from Three Sisters Wilderness
An aircrew from the U.S. Coast Guard Air Station North Bend hoists and injured hiker from a lava field near North Sister, Oregon, Saturday, Sept. 5, 2026. Due to loose rock and steep terrain, the ropes team could neither hike the patient out nor create anchors for a safe rope rescue. (U.S. Coast Guard Video Courtesy of Air Station North Bend)
