A woman was taken to the hospital Friday after falling near Monument Cove in Acadia National Park, park officials said.
The incident temporarily shut down a section of Park Loop Road at the Sand Beach entrance while emergency crews responded, cutting off access to Sand Beach and Thunder Hole. The road reopened less than an hour later, although officials warned drivers to expect lingering traffic delays.
The woman was rescued through a coordinated effort involving National Park Service rangers, the Bar Harbor Fire Department, MDI Search and Rescue, the U.S. Coast Guard, and a LifeFlight of Maine helicopter before being transported to the hospital.
Officials have not released any information about her condition.
