West Elk Mountain Rescue
West Elk Mountain Rescue (WEMR) was created in 1996 to serve the remote areas of Gunnison County and fill a void in search and rescue coverage in the western end of the county. We cover mainly the McClure Pass, Kebler Pass, and Black Mesa areas. Since the formation of our team, we have begun to offer our support to the National Parks Service on the north rim of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison.

The West Elk Mountain Rescue Team
We are an organization that is made up entirely of backcountry users, who volunteer time, expertise, and often personal funds to serve any other backcountry user who find themselves in trouble.
We hold monthly trainings and exercises to keep our organization in top shape.
