Mesa Falls

Earthquake Lake "Quake Lake"
On August 17, 1959 at 11:37pm
several faults in the Madison River Area moved at the same time causing
an earth quake that triggered a massive landslide. The slide moved at
100 miles per hour and happened in less than one minute. Over 80 million
tons of rock crashed into the narrow canyon, burying and open meadow
where some campers had stopped for the night. The landslide completely
blocked the Madison River and caused it to form Earthquake Lake. River Rafting
