Unprepared hiker at Red Hill Firetower

Unread post by dave »

Town of Denning in Ulster County

Wilderness Search: On Feb. 16 at 2:15 p.m., Forest Ranger Martin responded to a radio call for a no-voice 911 call from Red Hill Road. Ranger Martin checked the access point for Red Hill fire tower and located a car parked on Denning Road. Ranger Schweider hiked up the Old Dinch Road access point while Ranger Martin hiked up from Denning Road. At 3 p.m., Ranger Martin located the hikers from New York City returning to the parking area on the blue trail. They had called 911 because they were concerned about the weather and getting frostbite since they were not wearing proper winter gear. When the 911 call didn’t go through, they continued hiking down to their car.
