Kevin Wright is the former president, lead trainer, and field team lead of the Alamosa Volunteer Search And Rescue team. His intent is to share information that could help mountaineers reduce their risk in Colorado’s Sangre de Cristo mountains, educate the public about the realities faced by small, rural, mountain SAR teams, and entertain anyone curious about true first responder stories. The exciting and fast-paced stories–detailing several body recoveries, rescues, and a couple of cases of missing people–cover the areas and activities that pose the greatest risk to mountaineers and other outdoor enthusiasts in the Sangre de Cristos, one of the most extreme mountain groups in the southern Rockies.
