On March 20, 2021 at around 4:20p, four hikers got lost in the High Tor Wildlife Management Area.
One of the hikers, being a 20-year-old male, fell in the Conklin's Gully and injured his leg. When this incident was reported the injured hiker, and his 3 friends, were located by the collective efforts of a Forest Ranger, Ontario County Ropes Rescue Team, a DEC Environmental Conservation Police Officer and DEC Bureau of Environmental Crimes Investigation officer, and the Naples Fire Department.
The hiker was lifted out of the gully onto a UTV (an off-road vehicle), and was not transported to a local hospital, per the request of the injured hiker, and instead attempted to find medical assistance on his own.
None connected.
