Mudflow near flank of Mt. Shasta covers road northeast of McCloud
Redding Record Searchlight
A mudslide has covered part of Pilgrim Creek Road east of McCloud as Mud Creek overflows with mud and debris, the Shasta-Trinity National Forest warned Saturday.
Mud Creek runs from the southeastern flank of Mt. Shasta and the mudflow could get worse due to the hot weather.
In 2014, mudslides on that side of the volcano were blamed on glacial melting. Mud Creek is fed by both glaciers and springs. With the higher temperatures expected over the weekend, mudflows may continue to increase, forest officials said on Facebook.
