About

Colorado 4x4 Rescue and Recovery is an all volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit organization specializing in vehicle recoveries on 4x4 trails. Our Search and Rescue - Emergency Support Team provides emergency support to local and state agencies through large area vehicle based search, person extraction, back-country access support, communications support and other means.

We never charge for our services and operate entirely on donations and membership dues nationwide. All donations and dues received support our rescue and recovery missions as we have no paid positions.

We quickly organize teams and manage recoveries coordinating with Sheriff Offices, Local Police, The US Forest Service, the BLM and Search and Rescue Teams.

Colorado 4x4 Rescue and Recovery members traveled to Fort Collins to instruct District One personnel on techniques to safely extract a vehicle.
