A woman was rescued on New Year’s Eve after she fell on a mountain in Acadia National Park. The 68-year-old was hiking with her husband on Gorham Mountain about 4:30 p.m. Tuesday when she slipped from a standing position and hurt her lower leg, according to John Kelly, a management assistant in the Acadia superintendent’s office. Five park service employees and 11 volunteers from MDI Search and Rescue carried the woman about an eighth of a mile to the Gorham Mountain parking lot on the Park Loop Road. Her husband drove her from the scene.
