A large rockslide left a path of destruction down a popular trail in Little Cottonwood Canyon Wednesday, obliterating trees and harming the trail.
Geisler said they've spent thousands of hours and dollars hiring professional trail crews into building up that space. All of it was taken out by the rockfall.With this huge rockfall event, Geisler urged climbers to be aware and check recent weather patterns when choosing a spot. And she explained that the area where the debris now sits is not safe to navigate or climb.
"The canyons are really active this year, especially after the huge winter we've had," she said. "We don't know how stable it is still. So give it time to dry.""It was just nice that it was just rockfall," he said. "The trees will grow back; the dead branches will be taken away in time." Lenz and Smoot are already working on clearing those dead branches. By the end of Wednesday afternoon, they had cleared some of the area down below by the trailhead. The trail was once again visible."Just the power of nature and seeing geology in action," Smoot said, looking up to the cliff. "This is this is it. This is erosion. And it's a natural process."on Saturday and Sunday in the High Uintas. The festival will focus on education, safety, connection and fun.
