A video published by Youtube user Braden Litke on December 8 captures a unique hiking encounter in Colorado’s backcountry. According to the video’s description, Litke was hiking off-trail in Colorado’s Mosquito Range at about 12,000-feet in elevation when he spotted something odd. In the video, Litke takes a closer look at what he thought was ‚a bunch of trash‘ from a distance, finding a razor on the ground with a functioning battery. A deeper look into the Litke’s find reveals that the wreckage is from a plane crash that occurred on April 2, 2018. This can be determined by the plane’s registration number found on the fuselage. The crash involved one fatality, the pilot. The accident report reveals that the crash occurred when a non-certified pilot „departed on a cross-country flight to relocate his airplane for maintenance.
