Dry Falls
This lake is one of a number of plunge pools left behind when Glacial Lake Missoula's debris-clogged waters rushed over the rocky precipice known today as Dry Falls. Picture floodwaters more than 250 feet deep pouring over a falls five times wider than Niagara, and you get an idea of the immensity of the flood. Note the huge, water-carved potholes known as "kolks" (at right in image).
