Hiker Injured on Valley Way Trail

A hiker from Weston, Massachusetts, took a nasty spill on the Valley Way Trail in Randolph, New Hampshire, around 2:45 p.m., injuring his leg badly—just a mile and a half from the Appalachian Trail parking lot. Rescue teams, including New Hampshire Fish and Game and Androscoggin Valley Search and Rescue, trekked up the trail to reach him, stabilized him with a vacuum splint, and loaded him onto a litter. After a grueling descent that wrapped up around 7 p.m., he was rushed to Androscoggin Valley Hospital for treatment. A sobering reminder: trails are beautiful but unforgiving—especially when kids are along for the ride. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
