66-Year-Old Hiker Found Dead in Rocky Mountain National Park

  • Rangers at Rocky Mountain National Park located and retrieved the remains of a 66-year-old woman from Fort Collins near Chasm Lake on Wednesday following a suspected hiking accident.
  • The woman left for a day hike on July 1 but did not return as planned, prompting notification of rangers Tuesday night and a rescue response.
  • Her body was found early Wednesday morning on a steep scree slope on the south side of Chasm Lake, an 8.2-mile round trip trail with about 2,700 feet elevation gain.
  • A Mesa Verde Interagency Helitak helicopter crew assisted Search and Rescue in recovering the body, which was transported by long line to the helipad at Upper Beaver Meadows before being handed over to the Boulder County Coroner's office.
  • The coroner will notify next of kin before releasing her name, and officials said the death likely resulted from a fatal fall in the rocky terrain near the lake.
