About
Imported descriptionAt the end of the last Ice Age, 18,000 to 15,000 years ago, an ice dam in northern Idaho created glacial Lake Missoula stretching 3,000 square miles around Missoula, Montana. The dam burst and released flood waters across Washington, down the Columbia River into Oregon before reaching the Pacific ocean. The Ice Age Floods forever changed the lives and landscape of the Pacific Northwest.

From Wikipedia
The Ice Age Floods National Geologic Trail is a network of routes connecting natural sites and facilities that provide interpretation of the geological consequences of the Glacial Lake Missoula floods of the last glacial period that occurred about 18,000 to 15,000 years ago. It includes sites in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana. It was designated as the first National Geologic Trail in the United States in 2009.
