LIBBY, Mont. — Two Bear Air Rescue flew a backpacker out of the Cabinet Mountains west of Libby after she had an allergic reaction to bee stings.

The rescue group was called on Saturday, July 11th for a hoist rescue in heavy timber. Crews said they found the group, lowered a rescue specialist to assess the backpacker and gave her treatment before lifting her into the helicopter.

The backpacker was then flown to Libby. The organization wished her a speedy recovery.
