A 21-year-old Colorado woman died Saturday in Rocky Mountain National Park, and two men were critically injured over the weekend in two separate falls that required helicopter rescues.
The woman, who was from Severance, fell approximately 300 feet while she and a partner were descending the Flying Dutchman couloir between Longs Peak and Mount Meeker, according to a news release from the National Park Service. The Flying Dutchman stretches across a snowy, icy and rocky 1,600-foot path from the west end of Chasm Lake to the north end of the Loft.
Her death is under investigation. The Boulder County coroner’s office will release the woman’s identity once next-of-kin have been notified. Park visitors in the area saw the woman and the man fall and called for help with their cell phones and by activating a personal locator beacon. Park rangers, a park paramedic and an Estes Park Health paramedic treated the man on scene before he was extricated from the couloir, the news release said.
