It's honestly very difficult for me to see the depth or scale in any of these photos. I can't really tell where the crack is supposed to be or how it reaches a 66-foot depth at any point.

Oregon has https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crack_in_the_Ground and it's much easier to get to.

If we are doing a survey on great cracks, I vote the one in Utah as the most unsettling.

My understanding it was a layer of asphalt that got turned sideways(vertical) and as such that was how it was mined. Leaving a very eerie hole.

Do the makers of sites like this know how terrible it is to try to actually read an article on them? Just tried on iOS. As you scroll, the ads load and change and throw you to a different part of the page and you lose your place repeatedly.

After about 4 times, I bailed.

The Hearst papers uses some pretty terrible ad networks and it’s done so for years so one would have to assume it’s on purpose, like torrent tracker website ads. I only put up with it cause it’s free for now.

Interesting story, but if you go there it’s going to be hard to follow up on yourself:

>>> When I contacted AllTrails with questions about the route, the company removed it from the app.
