COSAR spokesperson Ed Henczel said the woman’s husband tried to help her off the trail, but when he couldn’t he left her with water and food before contacting a search and rescue.
It took one COSAR bike team and one ground team to get to the injured hiker by using a trail-rider chair.
The bike team located and assessed the woman and a helicopter from Eclipse Helicopters in Penticton transported the hiker to the trailhead.
The operation was wrapped up shortly after 6 p.m.
