Three hikers were rescued Sunday in separate incidents after suffering leg injuries, according to Fish and Game.
The most serious occurred on the Skookumchuk Trail in Franconia, when an 18-year-old woman from Glen fell and found it difficult to continue, said Lt. James Kneeland.
She had separated from her hiking partner and not prepared for a cold rain.
She called 911 and rescuers stabilized her injury, warmed her and carried her off the mountain.
The other rescues occurred on Mount Sunapee and on the Hancock Loops Trail in Lincoln.
Kneeland said at this time of year hikers need to be aware of changing weather and the possibility of icy trails.
