First responders located and assisted a 36-year-old Powell woman who fell into the Shoshone River while riding an inner tube on Saturday night.

Park County Search and Rescue said it was summoned around 8:30 p.m., when someone reported that the woman went into the river downstream of the Belfry Bridge in Cody.

Rescue teams searched the water with kayaks, Park County Sheriff’s deputies and Cody police officers searched the side of the river on foot, and two drones — one operated by search and rescue and another by the sheriff’s office — checked the area from above. A deputy ultimately found the woman safe near the river, south of Schneider Road off Road 2B, search and rescue said.

Emergency personnel from Cody Regional Health treated the woman at the scene. Search and rescue said it didn’t know the woman’s condition, but one of her companions said she received “lots of bruises and cuts.”

The companion, Joshua Grisham, said in a Facebook post that the woman was a trooper about the ordeal.

Grisham said in his post that he, another man and the woman had all been tubing together. The outing started off “extremely fun,” he said, then it got dark and the woman was lost to some rapids.

Grisham said they wound up being separated for over four hours and that he and the other man reached the verge of hypothermia.

“SHOUT OUT TO FIRST RESPONDERS IN PARK COUNTY,” Grisham wrote, thanking everyone involved in the rescue.

Park County Search and Rescue said it spent two hours on the operation.

“We appreciate the coordinated efforts of all agencies involved in this mission,” the agency wrote in a Facebook post.
