From NPS Incidents:
ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK
Missing Woman Rescued From Backcountry
Late on Saturday evening, rangers learned that a
54-year-old Estes Park woman had not returned from a day trip into the
park. A family member found her car at the Bear Lake parking lot and
rangers responded. They were at the scene until after midnight but were
unable to determine whether she had gone hiking or snowshoeing in the
park. Early on Sunday morning, rangers searched the Nymph, Dream and
Emerald Lake areas as well as trails leading to Odessa Lake. The woman
was found around 10 a.m. roughly three miles up the summer trail to
Odessa Lake on the north side of Flattop Mountain. She was breathing but
was unconscious and unresponsive. St. Anthony Flight for Life landed
in the area within the hour and she was flown to St. Anthony Hospital in
Lakewood.
ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK
Visitor Dies While Snowshoeing In Park
The Grand County Sheriff’s Department received a
cell phone call on Saturday afternoon reporting that a 64-year-old man
who’d been snowshoeing with a family member in the park had collapsed
and was unconscious and not breathing. They were about a third of a mile
from the Green Mountain trailhead when the incident occurred. Rangers
and area emergency service personnel responded, reaching the man within
minutes. They provided advanced medical care but were unable to revive
him. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
