LEAVENWORTH—A landslide that swept trees, boulders and mud down a slope has made the Icicle Creek Road, or Forest Service Road 76, impassable, according to Okanogan-Wenatchee N.F. managers. The Icicle Creek Road winds south and west of Leavenworth, and ends at the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area boundary on the national forest’s Wenatchee River Ranger District. On Thursday, Forest Service managers discovered the landslide, which is located just east of the Eight Mile Campground. Some permanent residents live west of the campground and where the landslide has made the road impassable. Forest Service hydrologists and engineers will assess the road damage on Friday. They are uncertain when the road will be reopened.
