Journey to the "Sinking Canyon" section of Salmon Falls Creek canyon in southern Idaho with geology professor Shawn Willsey. Here, we examine the dramatic Bluegill Slide, a rotational slide or slump that primarily moved from 1998 through about 2004. This impressive mass wasting feature displays a massive head scarp, tension fractures, rockfall zones, and more. We will start viewing the slide from the west, across the canyon, and then head onto the area just above the slide before finally journeying onto the slump itself to observe these impressive features.
