Mountain and a River at the Teklanika River Overlook (Denali National Park & Preserve) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: An image captured at the Teklanika Rest Overlook and Stop with a view looking across the braided river to ridgelines and distant peaks of the Alaska Range within Denali National Park & Preserve. By angling my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward, I was able to create what I felt was a more sweeping view across this river valley to the distant peaks. I did some initial post-processing work making adjustments to contrast, brightness and saturation while playing around as I learned how to work with DxO PhotoLab 3.

Mountain Moment: White River

The White River is a classic “braided” river, which are created by glaciers. The river channel often divides, weaving across a wide, rocky river bed. Glaciers generate a lot of rocky debris, more than the river can carry away. As each channel fills up with rocks, the river is forced to change course or divert into new channels, which sometimes can be nearby roads. You may notice along the bank of the White River evidence of dikes and engineered log jams. These structures attempt to direct the river away from the White River Road.

NPS Video, filmed 8/31/21. Description: A river split into several channels flows through a wide, rocky river bed in a forested valley. Next to the river bank is a dike of large rocks, with several large logs jutting out of it into the river.

New from Braided River (Mountaineers Books), in partnership with Washington Environmental Council, We Are Puget Sound: Discovering and Recovering the Salish Sea. It’s a beautiful and inspiring anthology of photographs and voices from our regional recovery.

Riverine art Braided rivers occur where there are high gradients associated with a large sediment supply, and they shift about very rapidly with each passing belt of rain, moving the sediment down and across the slope leading eventually to the sea. These wonderful examples were snapped from the air over Iceland. Loz Image credit: Bernhard Edmaier www.bernhardedmaier.com

Steeply inclined, due to intensive folding, fluvial conglomerate beds of an Early Pleistocene age (ca. 1 Ma). Large-scale cross-bedding suggesting migrating bars within a river channel. Probable products of a braided river system near the Japan Sea coast at that time. A glove for scale.
