The plane landed in Denver City, and since it was already late when they took off from Los Angeles, it was night when they arrived in Denver. After leaving the airport, Gao Yang and his group first found a hotel to stay for the night.
Early the next morning, they rented two large pickup trucks and, under Czech's lead, began their search for Kevin S. Pearson's wilderness cabin.
Denver is located on the plains east of the Rocky Mountains. Once you head west out of Denver, you immediately enter the Rocky Mountains, the already high elevation rises further, and the temperature drops accordingly.
It was February, and it was already cold, but entering the mountains made it even colder, so Gao Yang and his group could only buy thick clothing before heading further into the mountainous area.
