Mom almost falling off the cliff made me cry. The love of a good mom is a force of nature; she was willing to fall to her death to save her daughter. Thank goodness that guy was there to help!
@Emy53
That daughter had a strong will and love, to save her mother. She is amazing especially because she had a challenge herself, but she didn't let that stop her. Many blessings to these amazing women, and these hikers.

The multiple rescuse story hits a little close to home but mine involved water rescue from a newly purchased boat. The 2nd time in same day I had to radio for help, my buddy was in process of getting tangled up in thick weeds trying to swim to shore for help. Terrifying. The same safety officers that arrived broadcast one statement: "You guys again?!". Yup, end of boating hobby. Sold the boat 👍🏼😄

That daughter trying to save her mother was absolutely incredible! Thank God for a stranger in the right place at the right time!

I'm from Arizona and can speak pretty confidently on the last story. Every year we get idiots visiting from the east coast and midwest who think that when it's 115 out that they can hike north mountain, or camelback without water at 2pm. Every year we hear about emergency evacuations happening. I once (a few years back) lived in a condo near Squaw Peak and someone was stranded on the mountain in the middle of the night. I could hear the helicopter and could see it flying about from my balcony. She had figured that she could hike without water at night because the sun wasn't out... scorpions and rattlesnakes be damned, apparently. it happens with such frequency that the state legislature mulled over proposing a "stupid hiker" law to match our "dumb motorist" law. basically, if you ignore common sense, you will pay the cost of your rescue and helicopters are expensive.
@SkullBro
And.. it so funny to say 'lol you can't get lost' but damn, if you're in the fog - or even a bright sunny day dehydrated, tired, hungry.. everything starts looking the same, your reason fails you. Fog is especially bad because it starts to play with the sounds you hear as well.

Baffled by the Humphrey's Peak story. I've done that hike, and the my profile pic is quite literally from that summit. No mountaineering experience necessary, and a very easy hike up and back in short time. How on Earth could someone get into that much trouble two times in a row?? Ouch.
@surfergirl2943
Such a good topic Kyle !! My niece was one of the people who retrieved the mountains lion who attacked him. She’s one of the big cat specialists for the state of CO - such a crazy story!
@arnehusby1420
Here in Norway with its harsh climate, we have a number of rescue operations after tourists who have done something stupid in our wild mountains. If a tourist has done something really stupid, like climbing barefoot and gets stuck on a ledge. Can they risk getting a bigger bill, if large resources have been spent on picking him up. For normal rescue operations due to bad weather, fog or a lot of snow. Of course, those who are saved will not have to pay.
@vinceimp9581
Humphreys peak is a solid hike but well defined until you get to that last bit above the ski lift. The rangers actually make a late day hike to round up such individuals.
@Kiraiko44
okay the mom being willing to just sacrifice herself so her daughter didn't get hurt or worse trying to save her made me sob a bit. my mom died when I was a teenager, I always feel that loss very keenly when I see instances of how much mothers love their children. I know not every mom is perfect, but it's true that no one ever loves you the way your mother does.
@everburninglamp
I’m so pleased that webcam man was saved, being a viewer of random webcams it must have been pretty epic too see that!
@chase-mode
Man I turned around on humpreys in the summer because of altitude sickness. People have too much pride and they risk others lives because of it too often.
@Cassandra20208
If that big cat wasn’t a baby I doubt he would have won. I feel bad for the guy and the baby big cat
@sonjarygg2331
The first 1/2 of the salsa was eaten with the chips. That's why half a jar. Lol I live so close to where Eric was saved...fairly populated area. So glad he was saved.
@jimmysmith8231
I had a friend who was mountain climbing in the Yukon Territory with a climbing partner and they got lost - they only survived because they found a cache of food left by an expedition from over 50 years before their climb.
@JamieJai

@mercedesaponte6201
Kyle - I appreciate the first story about the runner at Horsetooth Reservoir. I'm a Coloradan since 1974 and have trained in CO for 40 years (former pro cyclist). I can tell you this story about the young (less than a year old) mountain lion was unfortunate and sad. The Dept of Wildlife said the is mountain lion was young, likely lost it's mother and was in poor shape and starving. It would never go after a full grown human otherwise. So sad for both. Just saying!
@thebluehotel426
I live in southern AZ and every summer at least 1 group of foreign tourists gets in a distressed situation and need to be rescued. They don't realize how hot and strenuous it becomes.
