Dinosaur, Colo. • A 27-year veteran with the Salt Lake City Fire Department has been identified as the man killed on Colorado’s Green River in a rafting accident in Dinosaur National Monument.
Capt. Michael Harp was on a private permitted trip on the river Thursday when staff members were notified of a boat pinned on a rock in the Hells Half Mile rapids, a class III/IV rapid.
Harp, 50, was found to be missing from the raft and believed to be under the watercraft. When the group was later able to secure the boat, Harp was discovered unresponsive before he drifted downriver without a lifejacket that had come off.
