Frank slide. I was looking at this slide for a few minutes and amazed how far those rocks actually slided. Can you imagine these big rocks sliding that far? Some of these rocks are like 100ft diameter.

If you go 2003 archives, actually you see the last diary entry of hiking this mountain. That was right before the forest fire burned this area. This is how the mountains look now after 3 years.

Well we never know what will happen. Before something happens, I thought I should take picture of myself, then head off to the summit

Somebody actually build a heliport on the summit. It's a nice lunch table for 3 minutes until 20 flies show up.
