Lake Bonneville, once 1,000 feet deep, burst through a natural dam and carved out the Snake River and Hells Canyon, the continent’s deepest gorge. Meanwhile, the Missoula flood surged from the north, creating a geological showdown of epic proportions.

The Missoula Floods are legendary—but was Lake Missoula really their source? We’re talking mega floods: water flows exceeding 1 million cubic feet per second. The Bonneville Flood hit that minimum at 35 million. Missoula? Try 10 times that—up to 400 million cubic feet per second. The landscape remembers. But are we asking the right questions? | The Randall Carlson

At the same time, the Bonneville flood thundered north through Hell’s Canyon, dropping massive boulders at its mouth. At Tammany Bar, the two torrents met —coarse Bonneville gravels overlying Missoula silts —a geological record of cataclysms colliding. | The Randall Carlson | Facebook
