A 21-year-old woman injured her head during a 60-foot fall Tuesday evening off a cliff at Falling Water Falls in Walden, officials said.
The woman’s name has not been released.
Late Tuesday night, about 10 people were working to pull the victim out of the deep canyon using ropes and a Stokes stretcher, Hamilton County Emergency Services spokeswoman Amy Maxwell said. She said the woman would be transported to Erlanger hospital.
According to Ms. Maxwell, three people hiked to a natural spring Tuesday afternoon. They encountered steep terrain, negotiating 90-degree angles in some cases, Ms. Maxwell said.
At some point during the hike back, the woman slipped and fell before hitting her head and rolling 60 feet off a bluff, Ms. Maxwell said.
