By The Times-News TWIN FALLS COUNTY, Idaho — It took an all-out effort Saturday evening to rescue a woman who was injured in the Snake River Canyon and could not hike out on her own. Multiple first responders helped Colleen Wilkins, 49, who was needing assistance in the canyon north of the Holly Berry Nursery near Murtaugh. The call came in at 6 p.m. The Twin Falls County Sheriff's Office, Rock Creek Fire, Magic Valley Paramedics, Air St.Luke's, and SORT were at the scene, and due to the challenges of terrain and that daylight was quickly fading, a call went out to off-duty officers from the Twin Falls Fire Department.
