The 1995 Kilburn (Monument) Slide

This slide is best described by climber, author, photographer, and slide expert, Kevin B. MacKenzie

"The Monument Slide (aka Kilburn Slide or Rose Colored Glasses), triggered in October of 1995, follows a track beginning on the northwestern shoulder Kilburn Mountain in the Sentinel Range Wilderness. The slide is a fine example of a beautiful hike with interesting geological features and combines pitches of variable difficulty. Alternate routes around the steeper pitches are easy to find. It is one of the most accessible slides in the area with an overall trek from Monument Falls on Route 86 to the slide base at about 1.25 miles with modest elevation gain. The longest portion of the approach traces the historic Old Iron Road created by Archibald McIntyre in 1814. "
