A hiker on the Colorado Trail required the assistance of mountain rescue crews this week when they say they became ill after drinking contaminated water. The news comes just weeks after we reported on dozens of hikers being struck down by a vomiting bug at Havusapai Falls.
According to a Facebook post by Saguache County Search and Rescue, the hiker activated an emergency beacon to call for assistance from a remote part of the trail in southern Colorado on Monday evening.
