One switchback south of Galena Summit towards Ketchum noticed this natural slide on steep slope next to the road. I didn’t stop long enough to get a good grasp on size.

Driving over Galena Summit around 7:45pm noticed this slide directly above the road one switchback below the summit of the pass. I did not notice it there earlier in the day.
