It was unimaginably terrible. And just the lack of response from anyone in the park…It was shocking how we did this all ourselves with our limited resources. Luckily, half the group of hikers were doctors, including my husband and I, but even so, there was not much we could do. Ugh.

We are still processing the treachery of both the storm on the pass and the aftermath. The Mexican couple were both physicians and so was Nadine [Lichey]. All five victims were such smart, capable, able-bodied people…so tragic.

Obviously, none of us would have attempted this hike if we’d had any idea.
