Commentaires

On our hike out from Bear Spirit, we observed the aftermath a wet slab that ran over the approach trail. Foliage was scarce so i assume this slides occasionally. It ran to ground and the deposit was about a meter in depth where it crossed the trail. 9am temps at the car where around 2 degrees and were about the same when we returned around 3pm. It felt warmer in this area of the approach and we noted this on the way in (before the slide occurred). We also saw a small loose wet on the other side (west aspect) of the creek a few meters down stream. Keep your head up!
