We took a drive out to Fish Creek and Sandstone Canyon today. The last time I was there was March 27th, just a week before the big earthquake. There are several new rockfalls and slides along the way that weren't there back in March. This one is new.
Here's the new end of Sandstone Canyon.
It looked like someone had tried to drive through on the far right side through that little notch. Can't tell for sure if they got through.
Here it is from the other (upstream) side. It was fairly wet and almost muddy on this side, I think a lot of the water that usually washes down the canyon is being trapped by this blockage.
The good news it that we can still drive through this part of the canyon.
I probably shouldn't drive and shoot pictures at the same time, at least when there's not a whole lot of clearance on either side.
On the way out we took Loop Wash, which runs parallel to Fish Creek for a few miles. It is very lightly traveled compared to Fish Creek, which makes it really nice.
We'll take this same route on Nov 20. It was beautiful out there today, it should be equally nice in 2 weeks.
