We will also gain insight into the theories surrounding the great Missoula floods and the impact on our environment.

The area has a rich anthropological history, previously being inhabited by Natives Americans and then becoming a trading hub for the surrounding area. Many pines and fir trees find their home around the lake. Aside from hiking, the area is excellent for a plethora of activities, including hiking, camping, biking, and other outdoors activities.
