The Alluvial Fan, located in Rocky Mountain National Park, is a significant geological feature formed by the catastrophic failure of the Lawn Lake Dam in 1982, resulting in a massive flood of over 200 million gallons of water. This natural disaster transformed the landscape, moving enormous boulders and uprooting trees, which has led to ongoing research regarding ecosystem recovery and species composition in the evolving environment.
Managed by the U.S. Geological Survey, the Alluvial Fan is a site of scientific interest where biologists and ecologists study the resilience and restoration of life in a once barren area. This monitoring contributes valuable insights into ecosystem dynamics and the impacts of natural hazards on landscapes and habitats.
