United Airlines Flight 409 Crash

On October 6, 1955 a commercial United flight crashed into the sheer side of Medicine Bow Peak in southeastern Wyoming. A lot of wreckage is still in the boulder field. Today we hiked up there to check it out. Here is one of four 14-cylinder radial engines that powered the plane.

Very cool. Sorta sad reminder but amazing how it's still there.

Wow, it does look too bad for laying in the outdoors over half a century.
