JAFFREY, N.H. (MyKeeneNow) A Massachusetts man was assisted off Mount Monadnock Sunday evening after being injured during a fall along one of the mountain’s trails.

According to the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, conservation officers were alerted just after 4:15 p.m. Sunday to a hiker who had been hurt on the Dublin Trail. The individual, identified as 26-year-old Trevor Powell of Brighton, Massachusetts, had been hiking with a companion when he slipped on icy rocks, suffering injuries to his head and shoulder.

Powell’s hiking partner called for help, prompting a coordinated response involving conservation officers, park staff from the New Hampshire Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, and volunteers with the Upper Valley Wilderness Response Team.

Rescue crews reached Powell on the trail and worked to bring him roughly two miles down steep, icy, and uneven terrain to the trailhead. The operation concluded around 8:10 p.m., officials said.

After reaching the base of the trail, Powell declined ambulance transport and chose to seek medical care independently. Authorities noted that both hikers were experienced and had planned a single-day trip to the summit.

Officials are reminding outdoor enthusiasts that winter conditions can persist at higher elevations even as temperatures begin to rise. Hikers are encouraged to prepare for icy terrain and carry appropriate gear when venturing into the mountains.
