A cooperative project among:
Ramón Arrowsmith, Department of Geological Sciences, Arizona State University
Lee Amoroso, US Geological Survey,
and
Phil Pearthree, Arizona Geological Survey
We also appreciate the support of Nick Priznar from Arizona Department of Transportation.

History
We first worked on the slide in the winter of 1998 as part of the Advanced Field Geology course that Phil and Ramon taught and Lee took.
Here is the link to the pages for the landslide from that class.
