Sorry to report on the death of a woman from NH while training in the CO mountains. Last year Hannah Taylor won the inaugural women’s title at the High Lonesome 100 Miler, an ultra-endurance race across Colorado peaks. She worked for the Summit Huts Association and was an instructor for Summit Nordic Ski Club after moving to CO about 15 years ago.

"A Hopkinton native who died last month while hiking in Colorado was killed when a rock came loose and hit her in the head, officials said.

Hannah Taylor 39, was training for an ultra-endurance race on July 21 on an off-trail ridge in the Gore Mountain Range in Summit County, Colo. On one section of ridge, she held onto the rocks while assessing the best way forward. An unsteady rock broke loose, striking Taylor and knocking her down the ridge, the Summit County Coroner’s Office wrote in a statement released Thursday.

The information came from Olof Hedberg, who was hiking with Taylor when the accident happened, and was released at the request of Taylor’s family.

“As she stood on the ridge, a large section of rock, including the piece in her hand, broke loose causing her to stumble,” the coroner’s office said. “The falling rock then directly hit the back of her head and killed her. Her body fell 66 feet down a gully and then over a 200 foot cliff.”
