Event Idea - Glenwood Canyon CO

#1 Post by krystialkitten » 03 Aug 2021 06:41

Context: Over the last couple of weeks in Colorado, we've been getting a lot of rain which is something we haven't had in months. Western Colorado tends to be very dry and this year has been on the more extreme side. A few days back, we had a pretty large storm come through the state and it dumped a lot of rain for this area over a forest fire burn scar. The area in Glenwood Canyon is very steep and burn scars tend to lead to large mud slides when there's heavy rain over them. Currently, Interstate 70 is closed in both directions between Glenwood and Eagle Colorado due to a massive mudslide that pretty much destroyed the Interstate in Glenwood Canyon. A state of emergency was declared and that part of the Interstate is going to be closed for the foreseeable future. I think it would be neat to have an event like the one that was put on in California to clean up and rebuild the Interstate that's been destroyed.

For context of what I'm talking about, the following link shows the news article with some pictures.
