Teen Says Father Shielded Her as Rock Slide Killed Him, 4 Others
A 13-year-old girl, the lone survivor of a rock slide that killed five people in Colorado, said her father used his body as a shield to protect her when the rocks came crashing down, according to police.
The teen, identified as Gracie Johnson, was airlifted to a Denver hospital with a broken leg after the Monday morning slide sent 100-ton boulders onto a viewing area at Agnes Vaille falls in Chalk Creek Canyon below Mount Princeton.
Chaffee County Sheriff's Deputy Nick Tolsma was one of the first to arrive, hiking about a mile and finding a gruesome scene.
I heard a scream next to me. I saw a hand sticking out underneath the boulder, Tolsma said of Gracie. The true hero is her dad. She said her dad jumped on her to protect her at the last moment when the rocks were coming down. I think he saved her life.
Gracie's father, a high school football coach, her mother and a sister died, sources told ABC News. The other victims and their identities have not been officially released.
Names of the hikers are not being released at this time and further information will be provided as it becomes available, Chaffee County Sheriff Pete Palmer said Monday night.

Girl saved as U.S. Colorado rockslide kills 5
The lone survivor of the rockslide, 13-year-old Gracie Johnson, was taken to Children's Hospital Colorado near Denver. Her condition is unknown.
Chaffee County sheriff's deputies rescued her from the debris Monday after tons of rock careered down on a vantage point looking up on Agnes Vaille Falls in Nathrop, Colorado, sometime before 11 a.m. Monday. The site is about 120 miles southwest of Denver.
The site of the slide is still very unstable and no one is allowed in the area other than the authorities, Sheriff Pete Palmer said Monday. Engineers are evaluating the conditions and Palmer said crews will return to retrieve the bodies as soon as the area can be declared safe for the search teams.
The names of the hikers killed by the rockslide have not been released. It was not known whether they were related.
The trail leading to the falls is a relatively easy one, according to the U.S. Forest Service, making it popular with families. However, rockslides are apparently relatively common near the trail, according to hiking website Alltrails.com.
The cause of the rockslide is not known, but Palmer said heavy rain this month in Colorado may have been a contributing factor.

Backpacking trip to Mt. Huron, Mt. Massive, & Mt. Elbert-- July 2015
Trip: July 22nd- 25th, 2015
Originally, we planned to complete a loop in the Collegiate peaks wilderness and hike Mt. Huron, Mt. Missouri, Mt. Oxford, Mt. Belford, and Mt. Elbert. On the third day, we changed our plans and decided to not hike Missouri due to the weather and a very difficult unmaintained trail. We hung out in Leadville for most of the day after a fun hike and an unexpected ride on a 4-WD road back out to trailhead. It was the perfect place to visit while it poured outside. On the fourth day, we set out for the massive, Mount Massive, which consisted of a 14-mile roundtrip from our campsite. On the fifth day, we hiked the highest peak in the Rocky Mountains, Mount Elbert. That mountain was full of false summits!! Eventually, we made it to the top and enjoyed the endless views of virga and rocky mountain tops. We even encountered some snow and graupel on our descent! Overall, a really fun trip!g
