Lost River.....

Here is a pic of a dried up river bed (ok there is still a significant stream running through it.). What makes this river bed extraordinary is that just two years ago it was a roaring river! Enormous white rapids and all! In 2006 an avalanche deposited so much fill that it totally altered this rivers course. It now runs in another direction that is not readily accessible without a decent hike. This picture was taken over a bridge that spanned over 100 feet.

A spectacular waterfall. By far the tallest one I have seen. Notice people at base of falls to get a good perspective. WOW!!! To add to the beauty and grandure the weather was and unbeliavable 69 degrees! Sorry to my envious friends in Texas' 100 degree weather ;)
