A Summit County Rescue Group member is in the hospital recovering from a spinal injury suffered in a fall early last month, according to rescue group spokesperson Charles Pitman.
On June 5, Summit County Rescue Group mission coordinator Rich Miller, 70, was critically injured in a hiking accident north of Steamboat Springs
. Miller was hiking with a group of friends just inside the border between Colorado and Wyoming on a trail to King Solomon Falls. During the hike, Miller tripped and sustained spinal cord injuries, according to Pitman.
Because there is no cell coverage in the area, a hiker had to make their way down the trail and drive to a ranch to call in emergency responders, which ultimately included rescuers from Steamboat Lake State Park, North Routt Fire Protection District and Routt County Search and Rescue.
