June 13, 2022 flood in Yellowstone National Park. YNP image.
Yellowstone National Park released a video yesterday describing the massive damage to the park’s infrastructure that occurred June 13 when unseasonably warm weather, melting snow, and very heavy rain produced widespread flooding across the north end of the park. Yellowstone Digital Communications Specialist, Jake Frank, gives his first-hand account of the 500-year flood event.
These photos are still images from the video below.

I hope as these repairs are made, wildlife land crossings: land bridges and/or underpasses will be incorporated. Yellowstone should lead the country in doing this and provide an example.

How canyons are made. Looks like most of the mass wasting and surficial failure was on unconsolidated fill and accumulated scree/slope-wash. It will be interesting to see how the repairs are made. Odd that there was no slope-protection/armoring.
