Millcreek Canyon

Many natural avalanches terminating in the creek bed along mill creek canyon road. We skinned approximately 3.5 miles from the lower parking lot, counting roughly ~10 naturals that were up to 2 feet deep. There were several slopes of similar nature which had NOT slid running directly along the road. Potential for burial, especially further up the canyon where it becomes more narrow. Just a warning for hikers thinking there is no danger on Millcreek Canyon Road! Did not take pictures or investigate further as it was dark and our first thought was to get out of the canyon once we saw the slopes which did not terminate in the creek bed. We did not expect to see so much activity and realized we were not prepared to safely continue.
