1:00Now PlayingAfter three mudslides within a week, the City of Glenwood Springs said there's a long process ahead to getting all the debris cleaned up at the bottom of Red Mountain.
Tuesday morning, a heavy debris flow came down the mountain. The city said it's the effect of a lot of seasonal snowpack that is now melting.
"Some of these slopes that the snow is sitting on are extremely steep. We're talking 12 to 1,700 vertical feet and a very short distance," said Matthew Langhorst, the public works director for the City of Glenwood Springs. "The soils have basically become super saturated. And once they hit a point and the snowpack is melted into them, they become liquid. And they basically float down the hill and collect at the bottom, gathering trees and rocks and anything else along the way."
