PHOTOS: A hiker in her late 60s was rescued near the Kendall Katwalk after sliding about 100 feet on a steep patch of lingering snow and suffering significant upper-body injuries, according to King County Explorer Search and Rescue.

Explorer Search and Rescue said it was deployed just before 2 p.m. on Saturday to assist the woman, who was about 4.5 miles from the trailhead and unable to walk out. Passing hikers helped get her back onto the trail and provided initial aid and warming.

Despite “multiple clothing layers and it being relatively nice weather,” Explorer Search and Rescue said the exposed slope was extremely cold and windy.

Search and rescue teams hiked in with medical equipment and transport gear to stabilize her injuries and carry her out. The agency said the trail had multiple downed trees and stream crossings, and it took until around 10 p.m. for teams to transport her back to the trailhead, where Snoqualmie Pass Fire & Rescue was waiting.
