Well if there really is an escape iguana on Mount Elbert (after a year like 2020 it's easier to believe something that bizarre...) and someone on here goes and actually finds it, make sure you post a trip report - that would for sure be an interesting read!

I hope someone updates the iguana's checklist for Elbert!

(and kidding aside, that it gets back to its owners safely...)

Iguana rescue would be a good name for a punk band

Yes it does.

It's probably all a sick joke.
Could be sicker. When I was a kid, somebody called the local cops to report that his black mamba was on the loose. That caused a bit of a panic around town.

Almost had to be a hoax. People are stupid. I like jokes and all but an animal in need of rescue isn’t a funny one at all.

Agreed. The person behind the hoax is an a-hole.
I'm old, slow and fat. Unfortunately, those are my good qualities.
