The Triangle Peak Trail is described as a “steep trail that sees limited foot traffic due to its difficult and rocky terrain.” According to All Trails, the trail is nearly 5 miles long and takes an average of just under three and a half hours to complete.

On the day that Hearn and Tawny were found, the search team involved 30 members of Mountain Rescue Aspen (MRA), a helicopter from Care Flight of the Rockies and "numerous citizens," per authorities.
