This photo shows Elk Creek above the East Fork Confluence. Young deciduous trees are starting to re-establish themselves after the 1997 storm caused debris torrents that flattened the Elk Creek riparian zone. As young alder and willow get established, they help provide shade and reduce stream temperatures. Photo contributed by Michael Hentz. 2002.
