Looking towards the slide area from the picnic area near the visitor center, which can be partially seen on the right.
A diagram displaying the various formations and how they are stacked. Diagram out of frame details that this kind of willy nilly stacking may have contributed to the slide.
The trail along the boulder field has been leveled and cut from the debris, making an easy trek through otherwise rocky terrain. Turtle mountain beyond showing both the slide and the intact sections.
A view of Turtle mountain showing both the slide section as well as the still intact section, which still has the potential to slide as well.

Some great flying the other day over #Banff National Park and #CrowsnestPass. Including a pretty cool view of #FrankSlide!
Not super historically accurate (especially the First Nations intervention), but neat that Stompin' Tom Connors, Canada's "people's troubadour" wrote a song about the #FrankSlide. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPnu3HkNclA
Thinking about taking my field class to the #FrankSlide and was reminded of my china teacup commemorating the event. Googled 'Frank Slide teacup' and came up with exactly one relevant hit, which was a post by me on Club Tread to a note by @DrewBrayshaw back in 2010.
