One weekend ago, two members of The Sunflower staff got to visit the site where 29 people lost their lives and two others died in the weeks following. I had some expectations of what the trip would be like but being on the actual site was nothing like I ever imagined.
The plane crash site sits on Mount Trelease near Silver Plume, Colorado. On Saturday, Sept. 27, we made the hike up the mountain to go visit the remaining wreckage. For those hoping to see the site, it is something that you must be well prepared for.
The hike was very uphill and throughout the process, we took several breaks until we ultimately reached the very important left turn where a pile of stones lay.
