    A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter (orange/red MH-65 Dolphin) is performing a hoist rescue operation over a rocky mountain ridge. A rescue swimmer is being lifted via hoist cable while accompanying a patient on a litter/stretcher. At least one person in an orange jacket remains on the rocky outcrop below, likely a ground rescue team member managing a tag line.
