Glacial Lake Missoula
About 12,000 years ago, Missoula and
the valleys of western Montana were under water due to a large ice
dam forming what is now referred to as Glacial Lake Missoula. At the following websites, read the stories about the ice dams and the resulting floods and how the soils
from western Montana created the wine industry in the states of Washington,
Oregon and Montana.
