Mission Reports: Woodland Park Denali

Saturday the 6th a team from Colorado 4×4 Rescue and Recovery went down Forest Road 327 north of Woodland Park to retrieve a Denali that was stuck in the snow.

The team setup a winch pull backwards out of the hole utilizing a pulley (2:1 reduction) sharing the load to a nearby tree. After pulling the vehicle out of the hole it was in, chains were put on the rear tires of the Denali it was driven out under it’s own power.

Remember to always let someone know where you are going and when you’ll be back, especially in the winter time. Carry an emergency kit in your vehicle with extra food, water, clothing (appropriate for the season), any medications, etc. And it’s even more fun to go wheeling with friends in additional vehicles to help self rescue each other.

If you do happen to find yourself stuck, broken down, or immobile for any other reasons, our 100% volunteer team is here to answer that call for help!
