If a member of your group is injured or becomes ill at a hut or along the trail you can not rely on outside help. Communication of any kind with the outside world, even in an emergency, is not possible from most of the huts. Cell phone reception is spotty and cannot be relied upon. Your group must be prepared and equipped for a bivouac, rescue, evacuation, equipment repair or handling of other misfortunes that may be encountered. Several members of your party should be trained in first aid. Such training may be obtained by taking the requisite courses for an American Red Cross advanced first aid certification. Contact your local chapter of the Red Cross for details. Hut users who frequently travel in the backcountry should consider training beyond standard first aid. The Wilderness Medicine Institute is a good place to start looking for such training. The County Sheriff of the county you are in should be contacted in the event of an emergency. Any rescue effort may be slow, if available. See sheriff phone numbers at the bottom of this page. The State of Colorado may pay the cost of rescuing anyone in possession of a valid Colorado hunting, fishing or hiking license. This same benefit may be obtained with a CORSAR card. Such licenses or the CORSAR card may be purchased at many sporting goods stores and supermarkets. Possession of a license or CORSAR card does not change your responsibility to be prepared to perform a self-rescue. Latest CORSAR details.
