This reach of Indian Creek experienced significant aggradation as a result of the January 1997 storm. Boulder clusters installed in this reach were buried (see Picture #2). Boulders in Picture #2 are at the base of the trees where the creek goes out of view.

Indian Creek forming a four-foot deep pool at the base of an alder tree at the bottom of the reach in Picture #1. Pool frequency was probably decreased by high flows in January 1997, but some quality pools for salmonid rearing habitat remained.
