ESTES PARK — A hiker had to be rescued in Rocky Mountain National Park after he fell in a deep hole and was pinned by a boulder, officials said.

The hiker, from France, was hiking above Lake Haiyaha when he fell on Monday.

“He was hiking with two other people who were able to move the boulder to free his leg,” Rocky Mountain National Park officials said.

However, because of his injuries, he couldn’t walk.

Park rangers, including a paramedic, reached the man Monday and spent the night with him until Rocky Mountain National Park’s Search and Rescue team reached the group Tuesday.
