Overview
- Conservation officers and local rescuers carried Alexis Hardy down Mount Kearsarge after she suffered a lower‑leg injury during a hike, officials said.
- Hardy’s partner, Tim Dupere, proposed while she sat on a stretcher during the multi‑agency rescue and Hardy accepted, a moment confirmed by New Hampshire Fish and Game.
- Responders from the Warner Fire Department and Hopkinton Ambulance joined Fish and Game officers to move Hardy to the summit and then down the Rollins Trail for transport.
- The couple were photographed smiling on the stretcher and the agency congratulated them while noting there were no immediate additional public medical updates.
- Officials used the episode to remind hikers to carry essential gear, know how to summon help on trails, and consult hikesafe.com for safety resources.
