Description

Peters Canyon Helicopter Rescue 2 Abstract.

In this capture, a helicopter rescue of an injured hiker was underway at Peters Canyon Regional Park, in Orange County, California,. The Park offers a unique blend of native habitat and man's influence on the land. The park encompasses 340 acres, including many hiking trails.

Many folks who are either not prepared, slip or fall, or suffer other life threatening events have to be rescued. As helicopters cannot land, a rope and gurney system is used with ground crew helping to load the injured onto the helicopter for safe transport to a local hospital.

The area is thick with coastal sage scrub, riparian, freshwater marsh and grassland habitats. The 55-acre Upper Peters Canyon Reservoir is home to many resident and migrating waterfowl. black willows, sycamores and cottonwoods line the lake and Peters Canyon Creek which meanders through the canyon. With a mix of graded roads and trails there are opportunities for hikers, mountain bikers and equestrians. The East Ridge View Trail provides a panoramic view of Peters Canyon and the surrounding area. Visitors can enjoy the beauty of Upper Peters Canyon reservoir while traversing the Lake View Trail. Peters Canyon Creek Nature Trail guides hikers through lush groves of rare black willows and cottonwoods supported by a running creek. The park is located near Tustin and Irvine, CA, in Orange County.
