There’s a New GMC Canyon AT4 Stuck on a Colorado Hiking Trail at 14,000 Feet

A 2023 GMC Canyon AT4 has been stranded near the top of Colorado's Rocky Mountains for days now—maybe even more than a week. The first attempt to recover the off-road pickup truck was reportedly unsuccessful, leaving authorities to resort to extreme measures that one imagines the driver will foot the bill for.
The truck got stuck on the Decalibron Trail, a seven-mile hiking route that tours four mountain peaks above 14,000 feet (locals call them "fourteeners"). Its name is a portmanteau of those four peaks; Democrat, Cameron, Lincoln, and Bross. The disused mining roads around the area now reportedly see as many as 30,000 hikers annually.
However, the trail is partially situated on private property. Between a new risk of liability to the owner, as reported by the Colorado Sun, and poor condition of the trail indicated by 5280, the Decalibron has been effectively closed for most of the year, reopening only in late July. It only took a month for a 2023 GMC Canyon driver to remind the owner why they limited access in the first place.

Looks like Arkansas plates.

Multiple commenters indicated the truck had an Arkansas license plate, suggesting the driver may be unfamiliar with mountain terrain.

Looks like they need to make a call into Hurricane, Utah.

What a total and complete frick stick. People like this are the reason they're limiting access to 14ers

It doesn't look THAT stuck. And how the hell do you get stuck on that hard packed shale?

That stuff is very loose and will just start sliding down the slope. That’s why they’re stuck because if that stuff starts sliding down the truck will go with it.

It looks like it’s bone stock (just the AT4 package).
Ford or Toyota should send a truck to pull him out. It would make a great story/commercial.

Hmm. I blew it up and can't quite make out if it's Arky or Gump. One of the two. ETA I see your edit. Damn it, Pig! Lol

frick it - let it go like the bodies on Everest - it will be a warning and landmark to future hikers.

Probably be content for HeavyD YouTube channel. Although I don't think he can get his Blackhawk up there but his buddy with the Chinook could probably do it.

Complete with a “don’t tread on me” front plate.
That trucks a pos if stuck there.

Looks like they have plenty of clowns out on the trails in CO right now. To be fair Blackbear pass will exercise your sphincter. That first switchback 3 point turn at the top is terrifying. You have to pull your front tires right to the edge of the cliff.

Gotta like a Sheriff not afraid to call out arse clowns as arse clowns.

As he should, that’s not even a difficult part of the trail where this guy is.
Posted on 9/8/23 at 4:20 pm to redstick13
I’m not sure it’s a traction issue. I think he bottomed out

what a dumbass.
that's a hiking trail to walk along, not drive a truck on.

Put it in neutral and give it a push.
