Wow, OP, that's quite the story. If he couldn't be saved with that many medical professionals on hand, sounds like it was his time. I think the Enchantments would be a good place for someone's last moments. And it just goes to show why hikers are always told to pack a little extra, you never know when something out of your control will happen. Glad you guys got out safe.

That’s the sort of place I wouldn’t mind kicking the bucket. Of course it’s hard on his partner.. they met hiking across the country, and the Enchantments were a dream for them. So that was very sad. We were all quite accepting of the circumstances, and thankful we could have given him the best shot at surviving a cardiac event in the backcountry. It gave his wife peace of mind that we were there and able to assist in the ways we could.
