N.J. Teen Rescued After Fall From Adirondack Peak
Published: December 30, 2004
State forest rangers rescued a New Jersey teen who injured his leg in a fall while hiking in the Adirondacks.
State officials said 16-year-old Allen Glick of Englewood, N.J., was hiking with a group on Mount Colden late Sunday afternoon when he lost his footing and slid about 400 feet down the mountain.
Glick’s leg was injured when it struck a tree on the way down.
Another member of the hiking party used a cell phone to call Essex County 911, and the forest rangers were dispatched to find the group.
A member of the group helped Glick get to Lake Arnold, where they were met by forest rangers.
The rangers transported him out of the backcountry. Glick was taken to the Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake, where he was treated and released.
