It was a busy summer for volunteers with Summit County Search and Rescue, and although things have started to cool down — they haven’t stopped completely. 

Search and Rescue was dispatched to two separate calls on Monday, Sept. 18. 

The first was a welfare check on a family near Whitney Reservoir, according to a report from the Summit County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies and Search and Rescue volunteers located the group. Then, Search and Rescue offered them a courtesy shuttle to their home city of Evanston, Wyoming.

Search and Rescue was later dispatched to the Highline Trail in the Uinta Mountains to search for an overdue hunter, the report said. The individual was located in good health.

The Sheriff’s Office responded to a few other calls between Monday, Sept. 19, and Sunday, Sept. 24, including reports of vehicle burglary and driving under the influence.
