My partner and I were up in days fork near days draw and noticed a northeast aspect below reed and benson ridge line that slid. Looked to be natural and ran for roughly 300 feet and was about 50-100 feet wide. The propagation from our perspective ran across multiple small sub ridges and likely broke on the facets on a slab of rock. - see image
