A hiker who got stuck in deep snow on or near the Colorado Trail is safe after a 12-hour rescue this past weekend in Douglas County. Douglas County Search and Rescue said on Facebook that they were activated Saturday night and sent in multiple teams, as well as a drone team. The hiker was several miles in. It took many hours to reach him and many more to get him out. It took about 12 hours for all the teams to return from the rescue. "Please be aware that while it looks dry and clear in many areas close to home, snow conditions are still very challenging and risky in wilderness trails," according to Douglas County Search and Rescue.
