An impromptu hike on Saturday turned into a rescue mission for 49ers receiver Max McCaffrey and his brothers.
McCraffrey, brothers Christian and Dylan, and two friends were about the reach the summit of Castle Rock outside of Denver when they saw a man fall 20 feet from the summit onto rocks below. He turned out to be Dan Smoker Sr., 72, who was hiking with his 13-year-old son, Eli.
The McCraffreys grew up in the area and Max said he's done the 10-minute hike perhaps 15 to 20 times in the past. Saturday was the first time there'd been an emergency.
