Missoula Rescue from 'Heaven' Cliff

A dramatic rescue unfolded Saturday afternoon when a hiker tumbled off a cliff near Highway 200’s “Heaven” spot, landing in the Blackfoot River. Their buddy pulled them to safety on a rocky ledge 15 feet above the water, then crews used a boat to ferry them downstream to Kettle House Brewery before rushing them to St. Patrick’s Hospital. The Missoula Rural Fire District, aided by East Missoula Fire and the Sheriff’s Office, handled the technical rescue with precision. Officials urge everyone to stay alert in rugged terrain—fast water and steep drops can turn deadly in seconds. Always plan ahead and respect nature’s power.
