The sheriff’s office said one of the men called his wife in Arizona and asked her to call for help, but the group still continued up the snowy trail.
set up on both ends of the trail to start the rescue mission, one of the rescuers offered to use his personal vehicle – a six-wheel-drive Pinzgauer all-terrain military utility vehicle – instead.
He was able to reach the group at 8,500 feet up "after pushing through over a foot of sloppy mud for many miles." Snow levels had dropped to about 6,000 feet.Named Liberty and Guardian, the bald eagles were filmed shielding their only egg from the elements during a snowstorm in California. The rescue took nearly eight hours, but it would have taken much longer without the military utility vehicle because crews would have had to use smaller all-terrain vehicles.on the Grand County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page, one of the Arizona travelers maintained that the group wasn’t actually stuck.
"We were advised to not proceed further ahead because conditions were considered ‘impassable,’ the commenter said. "We could have proceeded further. We had food, water, fuel."
