Comments
Here are a couple more pictures of the slides in the wellsvilles. There were three major slabs that released in the big cirque to the East of Box Elder peak. There were also slides in Shumway and Cold Water Canyons. They were not as obvious as those in Hells and North Hells. The slide in Hells Canyon ran to the bench at 6500 feet (2000 vert total).
