A Georgia woman was airlifted to the hospital with serious injuries Tuesday night after falling into Tallulah Gorge.
Local search and rescue teams responded to Inspiration Point on the north rim trail at 4:45 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 8, after receiving a 911 call of a female falling into the gorge. Department of Natural Resources Public Affairs Officer Mark McKinnon said the woman, who has not been identified, was found alive by rescue personnel in critical condition.
Rabun County search and rescue crews set up rescue lines and climbers were able to extract the woman from the gorge.
She was airlifted about three and a half hours later and taken to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville.
