When I first arrived in Montana, the Flathead River – specifically the Middle Fork of the Flathead River was running a beautiful green color and looked pretty clear and not too high. By the time I left, it was running very muddy, high, and fast – probably due to some rain and lots of snow melt. I got some photos and video of where the Middle Fork met the still crystal clear McDonald Creek at Quarter Circle Bridge – it makes for some interesting example of mixing water currents. Enjoy both views of the beautiful emerald green river and the muddy junction.
