Slump

Quick Facts

Location:

Caprock Coulee Trail

A slump that begins on the butte ahead has completely blocked the coulee. Water from the seep above you saturated a layer of bentonite clay. The force of gravity on the wet, slippery clay was too much and a section of land gave way, sliding into the coulee. While the seep water is unfit for human use, animals welcome it in this semi-arid country. Watch your footing - seep water can make this area slippery.
