A forest ranger was able to help a woman and her 4-year-old son after they became lost while hiking Haystack Mountain on Saturday, April 29.

The woman had called Essex County 911, who transferred the call to DEC dispatch in Ray Brook. The ranger was able to make cell phone contact with the woman and direct her to the trail.

The ranger met the pair on the trail and escorted them back to their car.
