We were there and may have been the last to see them at the base of the black diamond trail. A modified grey jeep Cherokee with a white wrangler behind. Prayers to their families.
My friends and i just rolled there yesterday on “look out”. My friend rolled 9 times and down 100 feet. He has a hole in his head and we could see his skull. We rushed him to the hospital where they discovered a fractured vertebrae. That is one dangerous mountain. We no longer call it rowher flats but roller flats
