Reporting what looked like a very big natural wet slide off of Red Top. My estimate is it fanned out to 300 ft. wide at the bottom?
Pretty sure it was natural as I couldn't see any tracks near the path. Also note what looks like left-to-right wind loading in the first photo. So maybe that could have contributed to the slide? I have no idea.
Pics were taken from middle of White Pine drainage and Lake Peak north ridge.
