The call came into the Park County Communications Center at 4:25 p.m. Park County Search and Rescue immediately responded to the area. Because of the distance involved and the remoteness of the area, a medical helicopter was summoned from Classic Air Medical out of Riverton.
Cox was airlifted from the scene at 7:15 p.m. and flown to West Park Hospital.
