Bethlehem – A Lebanon woman who injured her ankle Thursday night had rescue teams responding to a White Mountains trail to carry her out, according to Fish and Game.

Elyse George, 21, who is a member of the Dartmouth Outing Club, was hiking with a companion on the Gale River trail when she slipped. A call for assistance was made at about 8:30 p.m., bringing conservation officers and volunteers from the Pemigewasset Valley Search and Rescue up the trail about two miles to reach her.

She was carried out at about 2 a.m. Friday morning.
