Debris Flows of 2001
On August 14, 2001, a ton of debris washed down from the Kautz Glacier and flowed down the creek, turning the creek into a raging torrent of mud and other debris. Amazingly, most of the waterfalls on the creek were not majorly harmed. The mudflows took out the bridge above Comet Falls and even today the bridge is still out. The mudflows scoured the creeks banks clean of any plant life and replaced it with dead vegetation.

Famous quotes containing the word flows:
“To be an editor, as I was.
Then to lie here close by the river over the place
Where the sewage flows from the village,
And the empty cans and garbage are dumped,
And abortions are hidden.”
—Edgar Lee Masters (1869–1950)
