At 1147 hours, the Mono County Sheriff’s Office received a request from Madera County to assist with a possible carryout from Rainbow Falls. A 70-year-old female on horseback became dizzy and briefly lost consciousness after dismounting her horse.

Since she still felt slightly dizzy upon standing the decision was made to transport the subject to the trailhead via wheeled litter. A Madera Deputy, 2 Mono County Paramedics, National Park Service personnel and 3 MOSAR volunteers wheeled the subject back to the Reds Meadow Pack Station. She was taken to Mammoth Hospital via ambulance for follow up care. The call was terminated at 1537 hours.
