Camryn Morton was on the Table Rock Trail when she fell about 25 feet from a ledge, according to Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Communications Director Mark Latti.
Cpl. John MacDonald, spokesman for the Maine Warden Service, said state game wardens, a Grafton Notch park ranger, Newry and Bethel Fire Departments, Bethel Rescue and Mahoosuc Mountain Rescue hiked to the scene.
Morton sustained a concussion and injuries to her wrists, elbow and pelvis, according to Latti.
Rescuers provided initial treatment and carried Morton to a clearing where a Maine Forest Service helicopter picked her up in a litter and flew her to a LifeFlight helicopter, which took her to Maine Medical Center in Portland.
A nursing supervisor at the Portland hospital said Friday night that Morton was in fair condition.
Morton was hiking with a friend when she fell, Latti said.
