Creek In Glacier Park
Can't Make UP
It's Mind

A creek that can't make up its
mind it the Dry Fork of the Two
Medicine in Glacier national park.
1t is the outlet from Old Man
lake that nestles in a cirque under
Mt Morgan on the continental d.
vide. Sometimes the Dry Fork
flows out of the lake, and then a
few minutes later it flows back in,
reports Dave Cannavina, assistant
chief ranger in charge of forestry
and wildlife.
The change in water level where
the creek and lake join is believed
caused by wind that comes over the
lake, hits Mt Morgan and then re-
verses itself back across the lake
again.
