GRANITE FALLS — The Mountain Loop Highway between Darrington and Granite Falls has reopened to traffic.

A Snohomish County sheriff’s spokeswoman says county crews finished clearing the road Wednesday night hours after a small rockslide covered a portion of the highway. No injuries or property damage were reported.

The slide was reported around 7 a.m. near a national forest service road, roughly 12 miles south of Darrington.
