'Modern Family' Star Julie Bowen Helps Rescue Hiker Who Fainted At Utah Park

The hiker recounted the incident in a Facebook post, in which she thanked the actress and her sister.

A hiker from New Jersey was on her way to see the Delicate Arch in Utah when she felt something amiss. Minnie John felt lightheaded and dehydrated after making it to the top. She sat on a rock to rest and before she knew it, she fell face forward to the ground. Among those who rushed to her aid was actress Julie Bowen from Modern Family and her sister, Dr Annie Luetkemeyer. With electrolytes, medicines and pretzels, Dr Luetkemeyer, who is an infectious disease specialist, tended to Ms John right away. The grateful hiker shared the incident in a three-part Facebook post, thanking the actress and her sister for their kind gesture. Writing about the incident, Ms John said that she was accompanied by her husband Shaji, and their son, Brandon, at the Arches National Park on August 2.  The family was hiking, like many others, to witness the largest free-standing arch-- at 46 feet high and 32 feet wide-- in the national park.   However, once she made it to the top, she could not go on any further. “I was light-headed, felt like I was going to faint so I sat down on the rock…Shaji and Brandon insisted they stay with me but I could not stand anymore,” she explained. “All I remember is sitting there with my head in my hands secure on the rock.”
