Potholes


John was feeling well enough to hike today and we ended up doing a long hike.


This park is known for glacial potholes. The rush of the water melting from the ice age glaciers picked up grit and swirled around to make these large potholes.

  

One (the Bottomless Pit) at 60’ deep is considered the deepest glacial pothole in the world.

The campground is at the other end of the park so we hiked the River Trail there…

…and along sandstone bluffs on the Railroad Trail back to the campground.
