Watch: Hiker Plummets 100+ Feet, Clings To Coastal CA Cliff

HUMBOLDT COUNTY, CA — Two hikers — including one who fell more than 100 feet and suffered a dislocated shoulder — were recently rescued in Northern California’s King Range National Conservation Area, according to authorities.

The Shelter Cove Fire Department responded around 2:30 p.m. Saturday to the incident near Miller Flat, deploying a rescue boat and jet ski to reach the hikers, who were roughly eight miles north of Shelter Cove.

The injured hiker was clinging with hiking poles to a cliff, 60 feet above a second unstable cliff, authorities said. Video and photos of the situation were shared on social media by the fire department.

A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter rescued the injured hiker and the second hiker, who was off a deer and game trail and was not hurt, according to authorities. Both were taken to ambulances.

Coast Guard Sector Humboldt Bay posted video on social media of the harrowing rescues.

Six agencies worked together to come to the hikers' aid.
