COMMENTS:

We were scoping the Mountains from our house this afternoon and noticed this big slide up on Goalpost. It looked to be several hundred feet wide. This is a repeater in dry canyon from several weeks ago. I couldn’t see any tracks nearby so I am guessing this was a natural.

BOTTOM LINE:

Agree with the High danger assessment.
