Little Cottonwood Canyon has had a wild past couple of months. Avalanches in April led to some lengthy interlodges. This week, Little Cottonwood Canyon’s road, SR-210, has been closed to the public due to the risk of wet avalanche slides, among other risks.

One of those other risks is mudslides. On Tuesday, a mudslide fell into the Seven Turns portion of SR-210. The slide carried large sticks and rocks down with it. With the road being closed at the time of the mudslide, no one was affected.

Needless to say, it’s going to be a turbulent next month or so for SR-210. If you’re planning a trip up there, go to UDOT Cottonwood Canyons on Twitter for the latest updates.

Update 6:45 pm: They have reopened SR-210, and have announced a new operating strategy over the next couple of weeks.
