5 hours, 4 lives, 1 mission: Guardsmen's skill, experience provide critical lifesaving capability in Colo.

View of Hagerman Peak from a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter Aug. 27, 2012: The circled area is the approximate location of four victims of an Aug. 25, 2012 rockslide at an altitude of approximately 13,000 feet in the Maroon Bells Snowmass Wilderness Area in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. The rocks just above the circle at the right edge of the photo are the areas the Colorado Guardsmen from High-Altitude Army National Guard Aviation Training Site attempted to land their UH-60 Black Hawk during the Aug. 25 mission to rescue three injured hikers, but shifting ground made landing impossible. Rocks just out of sight of the top right of the photo were within just a few feet of the UH-60's rotor tips.
