Driver Rescued From Van Teetering At Cliff Edge

Colorado National Monument

National Park News

A van went off the park road on Wednesday, January 21st, and tumbled 120 feet down a 300-foot cliff before getting caught on a ledge, its rear wheels teetering over a 180-foot precipice above Red Canyon. Rescuers established a rope system, descended to the van, extricated the injured driver, and raised him up to the road and a waiting ambulance. Plans are to remove the van today with a giant crane.
