Description
The only channel associated with this site is F4 stream type. There is only one state and one phase associated with this site because of the narrow canyon bottom and bedrock control of the stream bed. The stream is wide and shallow, making riparian vegetation sparse to absent along much of the site. Riparian vegetation does establish along some sections of the stream where the valley widens and floodplains can form. Vegetation is patchy throughout the site.
