Rockfall in Glenwood Canyon, CO

Rockfall in Glenwood Canyon, CO

RE: Rockfall in Glenwood Canyon, CO

Thanks, it is always interesting learn of new cases.

RE: Rockfall in Glenwood Canyon, CO

This particular area was difficult during the initial construction. Unfortunately, a lot of rock is available and the late Winter/early Spring sees a lot of this.

RE: Rockfall in Glenwood Canyon, CO

thank you TDAA for the great photo link!!  did you see how some of the boulders are broken on pink veins?

say, emmgjld, can you say anything more about the construction?  how close is it to the tunnel portal?

RE: Rockfall in Glenwood Canyon, CO

(OP)
This link shows the west end of the tunnel. In the pic of the hanging Lake Tunnel, you can see the electric sign and the crossover.  This is the exact area of the slide.

(OP)
Oops, I think that pic is actually the east end, but the layout is similar, and gives perspective of the slide vs. the tunnel location.
