A fall-victim has received a head injury. The incident occurred off the Tunnel Trail near Inspiration Point 200 yards past the gate off Tunnel Road.
Hope s/he is going to be okay. All of this trail hiking and now so many injuries . . . it’s like hiking this trail has become an extreme sport or something.
