The
Gros Ventre Slide
Before
you lie the remnants of one of the largest earth movements in the
world.
On
June 23, 1925, earth, rock and debris moved rapidly from an altitude of 9000
feet, across the valley bottom and up the slope
of
the red bluffs behind you. The action lasted only minutes but a river
was dammed and the landscape changed.
