Several giant boulders tumbled onto the road bed just upstream of the Snow Creek parking lot. This area is a site of frequent rockfall, regularly shedding the granite boulders perilously clinging to the hillside. Crews are expected to clean up the debris soon. Icicle TV will keep you updated. On a side note, our reporter walked by this area yesterday and witnessed several small rocks falling, creating a somewhat ominous feeling.
