Hiking
'The Barrier' was formed by huge lava flows from Clinker Peak on Mount Price's west shoulder during the last Ice Age. In the spring of 1856, approximately 25 million m3 of rock fell more than 6 km down from 'The Barrier' into the valley of what is now 'Rubble Creek', overcoming a vertical drop of over 1,000 m.
