A 21-year-old woman from Brick has died after slipping off a hiking trail and becoming stranded in freezing conditions while climbing New York’s highest peak with her dog.

Brianna Mohr, an avid outdoor enthusiast and wildlife photographer, was hiking Mount Marcy in the Adirondack Mountains when she fell and became trapped along the mountainside last week Thursday afternoon, according to New York State Police.

Mohr called 911 around 3 p.m. while clinging to the side of the mountain, officials said. Forest rangers and state police immediately launched a large-scale search, deploying snowmobiles and a helicopter in an effort to locate her on the 5,300-foot peak.

However, low cloud cover and poor visibility hampered aerial efforts, and rescuers were unable to find her until after 9 p.m. By the time she was located, Mohr had died from hypothermia.

Temperatures in the area that day ranged from -8 to 20 degrees, according to AccuWeather.

Her dog, who had accompanied her on the hike, was found at her side and was unharmed.

Mohr was a graduate of Brick Memorial High School’s Class of 2022. She was known among friends and family for her love of the outdoors and her passion for photography, frequently documenting trips to rugged destinations across the country.

Her social media accounts feature images from places such as Death Valley, Yellowstone, Mount Washington, Rocky Mountain National Park, Moosehead Lake, and Canyonlands National Park.

Mount Marcy, which rises to 5,343 feet, is known for rapidly changing and often dangerous winter conditions.
