Comments
After the clouds lifted this evening I noticed a large avalanche debris pile on the mountain that came down the canyon from top. It appears to have started on the southern most ridge. With binoculars the crown looked very impressive on the ridge and it may have released the sympathetic avalanche higher in the canyon as it didn't look nearly as deep.
