A Colorado mountain rescue team is begging the public to be better prepared for winter conditions after another close call involving a hiker who fell foul to winter conditions this week.
According to a social media post from Alamosa Volunteer Search And Rescue, they received a callout for a hiker in distress late in the evening of Sunday, November 17. The man had set out earlier that morning to hike to Willow Lake in the Sangre de Cristo range and camp for the night, but the five-mile hike in took him 10 hours, and he became too cold to continue.
