4:30 p.m. MST
Colorado was on daylight saving time on June 4, 2004, so the local time would have been 4:30 p.m. MDT, not MST.
Full reasoning
This timestamp uses the wrong time-zone abbreviation. On June 4, 2004, daylight saving time was in effect in the United States. NASA's historical DST table shows that in 2004 U.S. daylight saving time ran from April 4 to October 31. NIST explains that during daylight saving time, clocks are moved one hour ahead of standard time.
Because the event took place in Granby, Colorado on June 4, 2004, the local Mountain-zone abbreviation at 4:30 p.m. would have been MDT (Mountain Daylight Time), not MST (Mountain Standard Time).
