WATERVILLE VALLEY, NH – More than thirty rescuers worked to rescue an injured Hollis man from Jennings Peak in Waterville Valley Saturday.
Conservation Officers from New Hampshire Fish and Game were made aware of an injured hiker on Jennings Peak in Waterville Valley at about 1:00 p.m. A call to NH 911 reported that a 21-year-old man had fallen and injured his lower leg, preventing him from continuing without assistance.
Conservation Officers, the Waterville Valley Department of Safety members, and volunteers from the Pemi Valley Search and Rescue Team and Lakes Region Search and Rescue responded to the Drakes Brook Trailhead off Route 49 in Waterville Valley.
