Hiker Falls to Her Death

Easter was a wonderful day for a walk in the woods. The Indian Fort Trail seems like a really nice, safe hike with a few pretty good views at the top. Just the kind of place I was looking to go hiking with my dog actually, and I even met a few people hiking with their dogs (as you’ll see in the story).

But this story appears to be about a simple accident — the kind of unthinking mistakes we all make sometimes — this one just happened to be fatal.

A 20-year-old girl went hiking along with a friend… and only one came back.

Sean Evans (WKYT in Lexington) showed up to the trail around the same time as I did on Sunday, with the same story in mind. So, together, we hiked about 2 miles through the woods, each wearing a dress shirt and a tie, and carrying cameras. I also had a tripod on my back, and was wearing dress shoes (I thought I was going to be doing a church story that morning). We got a lot of funny looks on the trail that day. Sad story, but an enjoyable hike.
