campground. A drastic change in weather patterns created rapid snow melt, triggering a massive snow
and debris slide that closed roads and campgrounds in the upper Icicle Valley this past weekend.
The debris slide carried trees, mud and huge boulders into Icicle Creek, effectively pushing the
already flood swollen waters over the main Icicle Road (FS Road #7600), approximately 15 miles
southwest of Leavenworth, WA. Updates on the road and campground status will be posted on the
Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest Recreation website: www.fs.fed.us/r6/wenatchee or by calling the
Wenatchee River Ranger District at 509-548-6977.
