Precipitation is holding consistent here in the park, but in recent decades climate change has resulted in an earlier rain season at higher elevations. This means a more rapid snow melt in the mountains which is bringing in floods to the valleys below. Early melt out means a longer dry season and hard times for alpine animals and reduced river flow for salmon and trout migration and nesting zones. Photographed #onassignment」5月5日 0時47分
