Wesley Huckey, 35, of Winthrop was supposed to go hiking with a friend at on Tumbledown Mountain near Weld on Monday. His friend could not make it but he went anyway. He lost the trail, hurt his ankle, and called for help. Rescuers walked with Huckey down the trail. Weld Fire Chief Corey Hutchinson said hikers should pack food and water, hike midday or early afternoon to avoid being on the trail in the dark, and bring flashlights and cold-weather gear.
