A Colorado hiker has been rescued from a scary situation by activating a satellite communication device after becoming stranded on an unmarked route.
According to a Facebook post from Mountain Rescue Aspen, the call came in on Monday morning alerting them to a stranded hiker in the vicinity of Capitol Lake. The hiker had set off on Sunday with the intention of hiking the “Hell Roaring Ridge” near Capitol Peak, one of Colorado’s deadliest 14ers.
