An ADCP is used to measure streamflow from a bridge near Kelly, Wyoming. Even with smoke making the view hazy, the Tetons never fail to make measuring streamflow in the Gros Ventre a treat.

This photo was taken within Yellowstone National Park and shows a cableway view of Lamar River near Tower Ranger Station. Less than half a mile downstream, the Lamar River flows into the more well-known Yellowstone River. When this photo was taken, flows were just a bit above average at the streamgage.
