We Recover The Rockies

What We Do

Colorado 4x4 Rescue and Recovery is a 501c3 non-profit organization specializing in vehicle recoveries on 4x4 trails. Our Search and Rescue Emergency Support Team provides emergency support to local and state agencies through large area vehicle-based searches, person extractions, back-country access support, communications support, and any other means needed by an Agency.

Since August of 2014, we have completed hundreds of recoveries, multiple search and rescue missions, and cumulated thousands of volunteer hours. If you find yourself venturing into the backcountry, take our contact information with you. If your day of wonder turns to a day of danger or misfortune, we’ll be there to assist you.

We never charge for our services and operate entirely on donations and membership dues statewide. All donations and dues received will support our rescue and recovery missions, trainings, organization meetings, gear, and equipment purchases.

MISSION REPORT: 22 AUGUST 2019

Radical Hill

Deep in the Arapaho National Forest is Radical Hill. It is a daunting trail featuring a couple challenging obstacles but its defining characteristic is the shelf road. This trail has one stretch of shelf that rivals Black Bear in Telluride. On August 22nd, 2019, Ken McCoy took the ride of his life off that shelf road. Ken and his dog walked away slowly, hurting, but alive. Ken reported broken ribs and a laceration on his head. Two men on ATVs transported him out of the back country and to medical attention. The rest was handled by Colorado 4x4 Rescue and Recovery.
