Summary

Description
English: (photo by James Cheshire)

(downstream is to the left)


In the background is Polychrome Mountain, a multihued mass in south-central Alaska's Denali National Park. The rocks are weathered volcanics, ranging from felsic to mafic in composition.

In the foreground is a braided river called the Toklat River. Braided rivers (braided streams) consist of small scale to large scale anastomosing channel networks. They have high sediment loads (usually rich in gravel, but sometimes mostly sand) and are typically wide and shallow. Braided rivers are common in mountainous areas.

Locality: looking east from the western side of the Toklat River, near the Denali Highway bridge over the Toklat River, Denali National Park, south-central Alaska, USA (vicinity of 63° 31' 18.54" North latitude, 150° 02' 29.69" West longitude)
