Highwater mark of debris flow in Museum Fire Zone

The 2019 Museum Fire north of Flagstaff is driving geomorphological changes on Elden Mountain. In this image captured by Becky Beers (AZGS), the highwater mark of a 2021 summer monsoon debris flow is evinced by the scoured bark on a ponderosa pine tree.
