Flood Damage at Chautauqua

Beautiful day for hike to check out the flood damage at Chautauqua.  Hard to get my brain around it.

Enchanted Mesa Trail just up from the auditorium. 




Somehow the stone bridge survived.  There used to be solid trees between the creek bed and the trail.  Looks so weird to me without them.



Can't imagine what it must have sounded like when all that rock came crashing down.





Trail to nowhere.  The logs scattered around used to form the steps of the old trail.



The huge boulder on the trail must have come from up above to the right.


Closer view of the boulder.




And looking up at the area that it probably came from.



It was a beautiful day with little splashes of color here and there.

  1. Very pretty! They've done an amazing job getting things cleaned up and starting to get the trails back into shape… Running some of those roads north of the Reservoir I've seen how broad the water and sludge must have been...
