Avalanche Pass is living up to its name, even in the middle of summer. This past Sunday was eventful for Northern New York weather-wise, with several torrential downpours triggering a Flash Flood Warning in Essex County. The intense rain set off rock and mud slides in Keene, causing the closure of the Avalanche Pass trail.
Hikers have been advised to avoid the trail, which is between Mt. Colden and Mt. Algonquin.
