Mike along the Snake River at Menor's Ferry and Menor's Ferry Store across from Dornans in Grand Teton National Park. The Snake River is muddy and at flood stage as a result of the abnormally large snow fall this winter.

The Snake River is being reconstituted here below Jackson Lake Dam. Actually the Snake River flows into Jackson Lake in John D. Rockerfeller Jr. Memorial Parkway between the northern end of Grand Teton National Park and the Southern end of Yellowstone National Park. So for 25-miles the Snake River becomes Jackson Lake then at Jackson Lake Dam in Grand Teton National Park the Snake River emerges again. And that is what you are seeing here below Jackson Lake Dam.

This is the gear system on top of Jackson Lake Dam that raises and lowers gates adjusting the volume of water exiting Jackson Lake to become the Snake River.
