 The Roosevelt Glacier ends and Glacier Creek begins.
Roosevelt Falls is the series of falls that dump off the toe of the glacier. While
the mountain views over-shadow this great waterfall, it still is impressive to see.
The volume and shape of the falls can vary dramatically depending on how
much ice is melting at any given time (see two pictures below taken only
about an hour apart). |
