A teenager has been rescued after falling about 50 feet while hiking at Smugglers’ Notch yesterday morning.

Stowe Mountain Rescue says the teen was hiking with an adult relative at the time. He had apparently wandered up into one of the gullies into steep terrain when he slipped and fell.

Neil Van Dyke is the team leader for Stowe Mountain Rescue. He says it took crews about two hours to bring the teen to the road. He was taken to Fletcher Allen Health Care for treatment of multiple non-life-threatening injuries.

Cambridge Fire and Rescue, Vermont State Police and Colchester Rescue responded to the emergency call.
