The hope now is that summer rains this year aren’t as epic as they were last July, because burn scars remain susceptible to debris flows in the case of extreme events such as those the canyon experienced last year. (via thknwco)
GLENWOOD CANYON — Briana Nickas and her husband are active outdoors folks who have lived in Colorado for seven years, but when wildfire and landslides closed the Hanging Lake trail the past two summers, they began to regret having never made the hike that has inspired countless Coloradans and summer tourists.
The trail was closed in the early weeks of the pandemic in 2020, reopened and then closed again that summer because of the Grizzly Creek wildfire which ignited about four miles to the west and came perilously close to the path. It reopened last spring but closed two months later because of mud and rock slides that destroyed a wooden bridge and left debris on sections of the trail.
Mitch Kudrna of Fargo, N.D. said he was pleasantly surprised by the condition of the trail, given what he’d read online about the fire and subsequent mudslide damage. “They’ve done an outstanding job with the trail,” Dern said. “There’s a lot of rubble, but the rubble is generally flat. It’s not easy, but it’s also not terribly strenuous.”“I think it’s spectacular,” Logan said. “They did a fabulous job. You could see where the repairs were made, and it was very easy to navigate. It was very interesting to see the burned-out logs and to see where a mudslide took down a big metal sign, just for people to remember how powerful all of this is.
The threat of landslides remains. On Tuesday morning, CDOT closed the canyon’s rest areas and the recreation path along the Colorado River because of rain in the forecast later in the day.
