The hikers were able to move George about two miles from mountain’s summit to flatter ground, where Ford could land his Bell 407.
When heat, altitude and dehydration led to George being sick and becoming unable to move, her fellow hikers called for help.
The following year, in 2001, Ford rescued a 13-year-old boy scout, Cody Clawson, who got lost in a forest close to Wyoming’s Yellowstone National Park.
Speaking about how she vomited during the flight, George said: “I can’t believe I barfed in Harrison Ford’s helicopter.”
