Details
Rocky Mountain Rescue Group is an all-volunteer organization trained and equipped for all-weather search and rescue on mountainous terrain. Contracted by the Boulder County Sheriff's Office as the county's primary mountain rescue agency, RMRG receives about 200 calls for emergency assistance each year. Some incidents resolve themselves, but most involve fielding rescuers. The nature of calls for rescue are diverse and range from hikers with sprained ankles, to fallen climbers, to avalanches, to downed aircraft. Come learn more about RMRG's work, its amazing volunteers, Leave No Trace principles/guidelines, and staying safe outdoors!
