Firefighters from Colorado Springs have warned would-be adventurers to stay indoors after rescuing a hiker left stranded and immobile with frostbite and other injuries after attempting to hike alone in dangerously cold conditions.
The person, who hasn't been named, raised the alarm early on Saturday morning after getting into trouble at North Cheyenne Cañon Park. The area is popular with hikers, with an extensive network of trails, but a passing Arctic front has caused temperatures to plummet perilously low, making expeditions dangerous.
