In Rocky Mountain National Park on Sunday nearly 50 search and rescue volunteers as well as several sheriffs departments and rescue dogs were on the hunt for 39-year-old Texan Troy Green. The San Antonio native was visiting the state on business and decided to go for an off-piste hike on Thursday between Bear Lake and Dream Lake. On Friday rangers found Green’s rental car, but the man remains missing. It’s possible, although police aren’t sure, that Green, who didn’t bring any gear with him from Texas, bought snow pants, a black puffy down jacket, black gloves, and a black balaclava. He also was seen wearing hiking boots and a royal blue and grey Camelbak. But Green’s chances of survival aren’t great. The park has received over a foot of snow in the past several days and nighttime temperatures are as cold as the single digits. Via KDVR.com.
