OKANOGAN (AP) — Authorities say a research student was rescued after she came across wolves northeast of Winthrop.
Okanogan County Sheriff Frank Rogers said the student called dispatchers at about 12:30 p.m. Thursday, saying she was about 30 feet up a tree with wolves surrounding it near Tiffany Spring Campground.
The woman told dispatchers that she had been surveying the area and had climbed the tree after encountering wolves.
Deputies and a search and rescue team responded as well as a state Department of Natural Resources helicopter crew.
