Dehydrated hiker rescued from Palm Springs trail

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (KESQ) - A dehydrated hiker was airlifted to safety Tuesday afternoon in Palm Springs, video shared by the California Highway Patrol shows.

A lost hiker was reported missing just before 1 p.m. on the N. Lykken Trail near W Tahquitz Canyon W & Museum Drive, authorities said.

"After locating the hiker well off the trail in a dry waterfall, she related that she was unable to get out safely due to the precarious terrain," reads a social media post by CHP. "H60 conducted a hoist rescue to assess the victim and relocate her to awaiting EMS crews where she was treated for dehydration."
