A person died Thursday after falling about 150 feet from “a steep rock face” near Conifer, according to the Elk Creek Fire Department.
The incident happened near Eagle Gate and Pine Valley roads. Authorities are still determining whether it occurred on private or public property, Elk Creek Fire Spokeswoman Bethany Urban said.
The department received a call about the incident at about 11 a.m. Thursday. When authorities arrived at the scene they discovered an adult had died after the fall, Urban said. It’s not clear what the person was doing before they fell.
The person fell a total of 150 feet, but 50 feet was a “free fall,” she said.
