The night the world shook: Remembering the 1959 Hebgen Lake Earthquake

6. There are still a few remnants left of

about three cabins down Ghost Canyon (The dirt road to Refuge Point fishing access) on the far side of the river. Last time I was down there was about two years ago.

The Quake Lake Visitor Center has been upgraded in the past few years and it sits in the middle of the talus pile that the event left behind, pretty much where the campground used to be. The outflow channel of the lake is still about the same after all these years as well.

(I worked for the museum for a short time so I go to learn a lot about it during that time and living in the area for years, I had plenty of opportunity to talk to some of the elders who were there that night.)
