Water Systems
The Big Thompson River flows through the Moraine Park, a valley and campground area in Rocky Mountain National Park. Winter snows melt and merge into rivulets and streams before coming together to form large, rushing rivers. Rain and snow also accumulate in natural depressions to form the many ponds, tarns, and glacial lakes that delight visitors. Photograph courtesy National Park Service
