The U.S. Coast Guard rescued two hikers and a dog Sunday from the Three Sisters Wilderness, officials said.

A father, daughter and a dog hiked near Porky Lake Sunday when the 14-year-old girl dislocated her knee and couldn’t make it back to the trailhead, the coast guard said in a news release. Porky Lake is located in Lane County where the Deschutes National Forest and Willamette National Forest meet.

The father, of Keizer, called 911, and was connected to the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office, said Erin Zysett, the public information officer for the Oregon Department of Emergency Management.

The father’s cellphone had died; the weather was worsening, and the sheriff’s office was on another search and rescue mission. So the state emergency department called the 13th Coast Guard District Command Center in Seattle around 4:20 p.m. for help.

Coast Guard personnel decided to launch an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter aircrew from the guard’s air station in Astoria. The crew arrived around 6:30 p.m., the news release said. They were the second helicopter on scene, said Petty Officer William Kirk, a public affairs official with the Astoria station.

The helicopter’s hoist cable couldn’t reach the two stranded hikers, so two rescue personnel were dropped a quarter of a mile away, the news release said. They found the hiker and her father and used a stretcher to carry and drag the girl over fallen trees, rocks and snow back to the hoisting area, the release said.

The two hikers and the dog were hoisted into the helicopter and taken to the Redmond Airport to await emergency medical services.

“This was an incredibly challenging but rewarding rescue,” Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr. Jason Weeks said in a news release.

The environment of the Three Sisters Wilderness posed “significant challenges,” he said.

“This aircrew consisted of three dads, so it was very heartwarming to, on Father’s Day, play a role in the safe return of a father and his daughter back to safety,” Weeks said.

While the Coast Guard tends to stay on the coast, crews train in a variety of environments, said Coast Guard Petty Officer Steve Strohmaier, who works in the guard’s 13th District office in Seattle. Plus, the guard is uniquely positioned to provide helicopters with the fuel range and elevation capabilities for rescues like the one Sunday, he said.
