   An injured hiker was rescued after his backpacking group left him behind   
   to continue on their trip, according to Arizona rescuers.   
      
   The group of five friends were about three to four days into their   
   backpacking excursion “on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon National Park   
   along the Kanab Creek” on Sept. 15 when one of them fell, the Mohave   
   County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue said in a Sept. 16 Facebook   
   post.   
      
   The fall caused a “traumatic injury” to the 63-year-old man’s shoulder,   
   rescuers said.   
      
   After using an Apple device to call for help, the four friends continued   
   on their days-long trip, leaving the injured man alone, rescuers said.   
      
   Rescuers said they sent a team that included a helicopter to search the   
   area for the injured hiker.   
      
   The helicopter navigated in the “dark with tall canyon walls surrounding   
   Kanab Creek” and landed about a quarter mile from the hiker, rescuers   
   said.   
      
   “The crew made their way through the creek and boulders to the hiker,”   
   rescuers said.   
      
   Rescuers said they assisted the man to the helicopter, and he was taken to   
   a hospital.   
      
   Rescuers urged others “to never leave someone behind alone and whenever   
   possible, to stay with them and ensure they are rescued before continuing   
   on their journey.”
