Unprepared Hiker Rescued from Colorado Rockies Amid Severe Snowstorm

Rescuers Followed Footprints in Snow to Find Hypothermic Hiker

Hiker unprepared for conditions at over 13,000 feet up in the Colorado Rockies was rescued when searchers followed footprints in freshly fallen snow to find them “alive but very hypothermic,” rescuers said.
The hiker was out of water, with no food, wearing only a cotton hoodie and no way to warm themselves.
About 25 search and rescue team members deployed to search for the hiker as a severe snowstorm blew in.
Rescuers spent three hours warming them up before starting the process of getting them down the gully.
The hiker was able to walk the remaining stretch of the slope to an ambulance waiting to check them out.
