Two men who slipped and fell into the water below Switzer Falls at around 5:30 p.m. on Sunday escaped relatively unscathed, officials said.
Mike Leum, of the Montrose Search and Rescue, said his team responded to what could have been a far more serious incident.
"It initially came out as two males over the falls, which obviously was potentially a very traumatic mission," he said. "But once we got on scene...it was more of a slip and a slide down a slope into the river."
