Road erosion in summer 2022

Cars can't go past the Carbon River Entrance at Mt. Rainier anymore because of erosion. The road was built near the river, and over a few years, the river has carried away so much soil under the road that it has been destroyed.

This picture is good to compare to the picture of the same spot from summer 2021. A year before this picture was taken, there was still some road in this spot, but it was halfway gone.
