Rock-fall hazards (PI-69)

By: W. F. Case

Rock falls are a natural process of cliff and hillside erosion. They consist of large rock fragments from a cliff, or boulders from a slope that bounce, roll, and slide down a hillside and come to rest in a “runout” zone at or near its base. This two page publication discusses different rock-fall hazards in Utah and gives examples of rock falls that have occurred in the state.
