Pre-1964 Landslide Scarp
By Alaska Science Center
March 1964 (approx.)
Detailed Description
Arc-shaped bluff that many interpret to be evidence of landsliding during a pre-1964 earthquake of unknown age. The Frank and Maxine Reed Family Staircase at this stop was built to accommodate pedestrian traffic over a steep bluff along West Twelfth Avenue which is made discontinuous by the bluff. There was no sliding on this feature in 1964.
