If you're hiking in the Colorado mountains this month and you see a colorful bomb-looking thing, don't touch it!! It probably is kind of a bomb.
The Colorado Department of Transportation is warning hikers to be on the lookout for un-exploded avalanche ordinances. These are the explosives used to create controlled avalanches, and some didn't explode.
CDOT says so far this winter, they've deployed 1,500 ordinances across the state. Twenty-two of those failed to explode. Chances are they were duds, but you want a team of trained professionals to detonate or disarm the explosive.
Take a picture for Instagram, but don't get too close!!
