Trails Storm Damage, Big Beaver Trail, MP 12.1
The foot log over 39-Mile Creek washed out. The horse and hiker camps have erosion damage and debris flow activity. The extent of the damage is unconfirmed, though it is usually the case that the camps have erosion and debris flow damage when the creek damages the foot log.
Trails Storm Damage, Cascade Pass Trail, Basin Creek, MP 1.4
Basin Creek bridge abutments are gone. The bridge is a small seasonal bridge (removable deck) 40 feet in length. Basin Creek Camp (6 campsites, 10 tent pads) adjacent to this bridge was inundated by the Basin Creek debris flow.
No photo available.
