Small slide over Millcreek Canyon Road just past the Alexander Basin Trailhead. It would have been enough to injure if it swept you into a tree, but not enough to bury. I usually think of Millcreek Canyon Road as a generally safe area, but with the snowpack in such bad shape right now, that may not be the case. Even though the road is low angle, there are potential hazards above the road to think about.
Kelly and Staples visited this area as well. There were many small slides near the creek as well.
