Observed a large crown in Room of Doom from the top of George's Bowl. Looks to be naturally triggered, no signs of tracks in or out of the slide. Tough to estimate the depth from a distance but looks to be around 1000 feet wide and ran to the bottom of the run. Doesn't appear to have slide to the ground, so likely on the pwl that developed during the last dry spell.
