Early April in the Utah mountains presents weather as unpredictable as the terrain itself. Bright sunshine during the day can swiftly give way to evening rain, followed by subfreezing temperatures at night.

Utilizing drones has become integral to our operations, enabling swift and efficient location of lost individuals amidst the rugged landscape and variable weather conditions, even in the darkness with thermal cameras.
