PHOENIX (AZFamily) — A woman was rescued off a Phoenix mountain after reporting that she was overheated and too ill to continue down.
Rescue crews with the Phoenix Fire Department responded to the Echo Canyon Trailhead on Camelback Mountain around 10 a.m. for reports of an overheated hiker. They found the woman about a quarter of the way up the mountain and used a “big wheel” stretcher to bring her down.
The woman was taken to a hospital in stable condition.
This comes a day after three overheated hikers were rescued at the same trailhead on Monday.
