At approximately 5:45 p.m. on April 28, deputies from the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office received a call that seniors from Boulder High School were planning to hold a campout in the mountains west of Boulder. Deputies responded to the area of Gordon Gulch, located on Highway 72 between Nederland and Ward, and found roughly 200 students camping in the area. The deputies remained on scene overnight, because of the number of students and inclement weather conditions to maintain order and provide medical assistance.
