These are photos taken from across Cache Valley.... Visible crown from recent natural avalanches.... These are in Hells and North Hells Canyon...

These are of a large (broad) slide below the cliffs on the east face of Box Elder Peak.....

Here are a couple more pictures of the slides in the wellsvilles. There were three major slabs that released in the big cirque to the East of Box Elder peak. There were also slides in Shumway and Cold Water Canyons. They were not as obvious as those in Hells and North Hells. The slide in Hells Canyon ran to the bench at 6500 feet (2000 vert total).
