GRAND COUNTY, Colo. — 'Conditions remain too dangerous' for crews to recover the body of a hiker who fell several hundred feet from Arikaree Peak in late August, officials said Thursday. On Aug. 28, the Grand County Sheriff’s Office and Grand County Search and Rescue learned that a hiker had fallen between 300 and 400 feet from Arikaree Peak , one of several peaks about 13,000 feet in the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area, the sheriff's office said. Initially, multiple agencies responded.
'A physician aboard the helicopter during the initial attempt had determined that the hiker had not survived the fall,' the sheriff's office said. On Sept. 6, several of the agencies again tried to recover the body. But the steep and rugged terrain again made conditions treacherous. “Our teams made every possible effort to safely reach the site of the fall, but conditions remain too dangerous for us to proceed,” said Greg Foley, Grand County Search and Rescue field director.
