Highway 40 is still affected by the weekend mudslide
Hwy 40 is still closed to all traffic, just north of the Mist Mountain Hot Springs trailhead, thanks to that mudslide this weekend.
Due to that, the Mount Lipsett trail, Mist Mountain Trail, Mist Mountain Ridge trail, and Mist Hot Springs trail are all closed while crews continue to clear the highway of the mudslide.
The highway is shut down far enough away from the mudslide that the extent of the damage caused by the mudslide cannot be seen from the highway closure.
