SALT LAKE COUNTY — A woman was injured by a falling boulder Saturday morning in Little Cottonwood Canyon.
The Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office said the 23-year-old victim was hiking Pfeifferhorn Peak around 9:40 a.m. when a rock, about the size of a mini-fridge, broke loose and hit her, knocking her off the trail.
Although her injuries were minor, officials say she had to be helped down the mountain by a search and rescue team. The crew was dropped off near her location by a helicopter, then helped her down the mountain on foot. Once they reached the bottom, she drove herself to the hospital.
