2018 Wapama Falls rock fall

Fresh boulders resting on lumber and bridge-repair materials and partially blocking a trail.

A rock fall resulted in several boulders partially blocking the Rancheria Trail 10 m west of the westernmost Wapama Falls bridge. Approximately seven boulders were on or adjacent to the trail. Two of the boulders landed on lumber and other bridge-repair materials that had been temporarily stored there by a trail crew. The trail sustained some minor damage from boulder impacts.
