CareFlight responded to a high-altitude rescue๐Ÿ”๏ธ๐Ÿš of an injured hiker yesterday on the Lead King Basin Trail, just west of the Maroon Bells. With the hikers stranded at 11,000 feet and no easy landing zone, our med crew navigated tough terrain, following the hikers tracks to locate the patient. The injured hiker was safely brought to the helicopter via sked. The hikers were transported to ๐ŸฅAspen Valley Health. Our medic bravely stayed on the mountain, snow packing the landing zone, marking it with a beacon and chemsticks until CareFlight returned to pick him up. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿš
๐Ÿ™ŒA big thank you to the entire team for a seamless and successful rescue.
