Timp Trail Waterfall

This raging waterfall was one we passed on a hike on Mt. Timpanogos near where I live. It flows down the mountain carving out a huge channel in the snow pack, and avalanche areas from last winters snow. Down river it has carved a tunnel about 3 meters tall and 100 meters long under an avalanche slide. A family decided it was a good idea to climb around on the slide area even knowing there was a severe risk of the ice cavern giving way.....These are the people you hear about being air lifted to the hospital, or dying for lack of common sense.
