VICTOR, Idaho — Teton County Idaho Search and Rescue (TCISAR) has shared that its crews responded to two separate incidents in the Mike Harris campground area of Caribou-Targhee National Forest this past week. The campground is located along Idaho State Highway 33, approximately five miles southeast of Victor.
On Saturday, July 6, at 12:27 p.m., TCISAR received a dispatch report of a injured party on Ladyslipper trail. TCISAR responded with both a wheeled litter, a stretcher-like device with wheels, and ATVs. According to TCISAR, the patient was safely transported out.
On Monday, July 8, at 11:16 a.m., dispatch alerted TCISAR of an injured man on Hillbender trail. The team responded with a wheeled litter, and transported him back to the trailhead.
