*Update*

The Greys River Ranger District of the Bridger-Teton National Forest has implemented a temporary closure order for a portion of the Greys River Road near Alpine, Wyoming due to a large landslide that has compromised the road.

The closed portion of the Forest Service Road 10138 is 17-miles from the parking lot in Alpine, Wyoming. The slide path and the surrounding area remain highly unstable. Porcupine Creek Road remains unaffected by the landslide and is open to the public. Forest employees are working on establishing a possible reroute around the slide which could allow for passage beyond the buckling roadway. Because this is still an active slide and the earth and mud are still moving, there is no estimate as to when this landslide can be removed from the road or any meaningful repair work initiated.

*Original Story*

Recreational snowmobilers frequenting the Greys River area are being asked to stay away from a massive fissure that has developed on the main road in the area due to a slow moving slide.

Mary Cernicek with the Bridger-Teton National Forest stated that the slide is in the vicinity of mile marker 17 on the Greys River road near the junction with Porcupine Creek Road.

The slide began over the weekend and has caused Bridger-Teton officials to consider closing the road. Officials believe the slide is still on the move and have observed movement of over 20 feet.

Forest officials are asking riders to avoid the area while they determine the best course of action.
