2015 Wawona Road debris flow

Boulders, gravel, soil, and broken vegetation pushed off into a drainage ditch to the side of the road.

A debris flow from a steep northward-draining gully below Dewey Point. This debris flow was composed of predominantly small boulders. The debris flow crossed the Wawona Road approximately 1 km up (west) from the Bridalveil Fall parking lot. Debris covered the road to a depth of about 0.5 m, and sand and gravel flowed down the road to the east for approximately 100 m.
