A hiking Oregon man captured the moment he jumped into action and helped a young woman pull her mother back up to safety after she slipped off the side of an elevated trail.

The dramatic scene unfolded Wednesday at the Columbia River Gorge where Taylor Root’s GoPro footage shows him running toward cries for help before finding the daughter, who only had one arm, holding onto her mother dangling off the side of the cliff.
