    A sick hiker was rescued near the Cirque on Pikes Peak on Saturday.

    The El Paso County Search and Rescue team responded to a call for the sick hiker, according to a social media post . Canon Helitack provided a flight to get the hiker out more quickly, and AMR - Colorado Springs/El Paso County provided medical care.

    The rescue included a "tough trail carry" and a six-mile hike down the peak to the team's vehicles.

    El Paso County Search and Rescue is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to saving lives through rescue and mountain safety education.
