During the early morning on Tuesday (June 1), park rangers received a 911 call regarding an injured 32-year-old male near Loch Vale. The man had suffered a lower leg injury after slipping and falling on snow.
A team of park rangers and a paramedic from Estes Park Health reached the man at approximately 8:30 a.m. and provided emergency care on scene.
