A somewhat creepy discovery on one of the rockslide on the Cripple Creek Trail.

Big Rockslide on Cripple Creek trail
This didn't come out as good as I had hoped - the deer and elk were using the trail
4635 road where the Cripple Creek trail crosses it. The snow was 6-12" deep.
Going back down the Cripple Creek trail from the 4635 road - snow was 12-18" deep on the trail in this old clearcut - made for difficult going. Fortunately it wasn't too far like that.
This was work that was happening on 224 on the way home. If you look closely you can see men up on the hillside - I'm not sure what they were doing - drilling holes for dynamite to blast more rocks? It is part of the rockfall improvement project that has been going on.
