Search & rescue in Colorado's Sangre de Cristos /
Wright, Kevin G.,author.
As the former president, lead trainer, and field team lead of the Alamosa Volunteer Search and Rescue team, the author's intent in sharing these rescue narratives is to help hikers reduce their risk in the Sangres (especially on the "fourteeners"), educate the public about the realities faced by small, rural, mountain SAR teams, and entertain anyone curious about true first responder stories. The fast-paced stories cover the areas and activities that pose the greatest risk to mountaineers and other outdoor enthusiasts in the Sangre de Cristos, one of the more extreme mountain ranges in Colorado.
Includes bibliographical references (page 224).
