La Plata County Search and Rescue prepared to search for the man about 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, but the search was quickly called off.

“Evidently a lad fell down and hurt his arm,” said Butch Knowlton, director of Search and Rescue. “We’re trying to figure out where he is. It looks like it’s on the ridge line to the west of Waterfall Ranch.”
