Colorado's mountains always see their first rush of the winter season over Thanksgiving week, and it's not uncommon for tourists to want to enjoy the Rocky Mountain trails despite the plummeting temperatures at this time of year. One such family, who were visiting from Chicago last week, found themselves in hot water when they set off on a mountain trail in southern Colorado unprepared for the worsening conditions, and required mountain rescue to get them home safely.
The family of five, which included three adults and two children, set off on the Greenhorn Mountain trail southwest of Pueblo on Wednesday morning according to a Facebook post from the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office.
