along the Fish Lake Trail occurred during the past winter, but it doesn’t appear to represent a hazard to trail users. I am concerned, however, about the undermining of the adjacent columns, which if left unsupported, could topple onto the trail.
I estimate the weight of the dropped column to be at least 7 tons (6,350 kg). That’s my green RR5 for scale, the northern variant of my bike in Utah.
Note the erosion of the lower sedimentary contact beneath the basalt columns on the left of this image.
