Description
Lidar topographic imagery has made it easier to identify glacial landforms hidden under forest cover such as this former glacial meltwater channel. This boulder-armored valley was occupied by torrents of meltwater at the end of the last Ice Age, so it looks similar to a modern stream channel but is now dry.
