Topic: Rock slide near Chelan Gorge Posted: 13 Jan 2015 at 9:41am
Copy / Paste from local Wenatchee World - I have no idea if this effects any Gorge access:
CHELAN FALLS — A rock slide has blocked access to the old Chelan Falls Bridge, a now-unused concrete structure that once served as access across a rocky gorge to the town of Chelan Falls.
The bridge was reachable along a footpath from the end of an overlook parking lot on the gorge’s north side.
The rockslide has blocked the trail that provided pedestrian access.
Chelan County Public Works spokeswoman Lauren Loebsack said county officials will assess the stability of the slide area. It isn’t yet known when or if the bridge access would be restored, she said.
The overlook parking lot will be closed until further notice, officials say.
The guards always told me the bridge was off limits to civilians anyway. The bridge is over the last couple of run out rapids. If it's blocking pedestrian access sounds like it may not have made it to the river.
