Washed Bench
The soil benches on either side of the Deer Lodge Valley in Southwestern, Montana were once part of an ancient lakebed. In a constant state of erosion, the earthen benches migrate over time toward the Clark Fork River, located along the center of this high mountain valley. Only the grasses delay the process.
