Debris-flow deposit in the 2024 Elk Fire burn area

Debris-flow deposit in the 2024 Elk Fire burn area. The flow partially covered U.S. Highway 14 west of Dayton, Wyoming. Sediment and woody debris partially covered U.S. Highway 14, near the Crystals Springs Rest Area after a thunderstorm triggered a debris flow in a burned watershed. This photo, taken eight days later shows the debris removed from the highway and placed along the road edge.
