A 40-year-old hiker who was reported missing Wednesday night when she didn't return from Game Lake Trail was hoisted to safety by the U.S. Coast Guard on Thursday afternoon.

The aircrew aboard an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter from Coast Guard Sector North Bend hoisted the hiker at approximately 12:30 p.m. and transferred her to the Curry County Sheriff Department who were waiting in Agness, the Coast Guard said in a news release.

Around 10 a.m., Curry County requested assistance after locating the hiker. She reportedly became lost and dehydrated and spent the night on the trail, which is located in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest.

Although she was found in stable condition, she was only wearing shorts and a T-shirt and had an emergency survival solar blanket to keep her warm.
