Debris flow carrying mud, rocks closes Mount Rainier park road
A debris flow that moved down Tahoma Creek at Mount Rainier National Park has temporarily closed the park’s Westside Road.
The flow, which carried mud, sediment, and rocks downstream, happened Monday between 6:48 p.m. and 7:58 p.m., according to Mount Rainier National Park.
It was triggered by a sudden change in the outlet stream of South Tahoma Glacier, which caused water to surge inside the glacier and turn into a debris flow.
This flow may also indicate more events in the upcoming days and months, according to the national park.
