Elysian Heights  —  Part of a popular trail in Elysian Park was washed out this weekend and covered with mud after an apparent leak from or near a hilltop water tank at the northern edge of the park.

It’s not clear when the leak began or what caused it. But some readers noted that sections of the trail that loops around the northwestern corner of the park had also eroded away.
