The Summit County Sheriff’s Office is warning bikers on the county’s recpaths to be wary of fallen rocks amid a rainy autumn.
A few weeks ago, large boulders fell on the bike path between Frisco and Copper Mountain, the sheriff’s office said in a Facebook post.
Recent autumn rain could have made the soil soft enough for more rocks to break loose in coming days, so bicyclists should take caution, according to the sheriff’s office.
