"It was coming straight at us" – hikers capture video of plane nearly crashing into Continental Divide

Flying low over moss covered mountains, South Coast, Iceland.

You never know what you're going to see when you get your hiking boots on and hit the trail in the Rocky Mountains – snow in July? A mountain lion stalking an elk? Or how about a plane nearly nosediving into the side of the mountain?

That's exactly what two Colorado hikers encountered on July 4 when they were hiking up to Devil's Thumb Pass on the Continental Divide in the Indian Peaks Wilderness. In a video posted to Facebook, which you can view below, the light aircraft appears to narrowly avoid crashing into the mountain during a heart-dropping nosedive.
