Is this a landslide? | Photograph taken May 24, 2004. Every time I drive by this canyon at the very southeastern tip of the Funeral Mountains, I wonder whether it might be a landslide. Of course, I'll have to confess that I've not been sufficiently curious that I went to any effort to go look at it.
