Sediment washed down from Monture Creek gives the Blackfoot River a split personality at Scotty Brown Bridge Friday, July 25. Heavy rains that fell in the mountains late last week loaded Monture Creek with plenty of extra mud and sediment, splitting the waters of the Blackfoot River in two below the confluence. Clear, green-hued waters of the main river flowed along the south bank, while the mocha-colored waters from Monture Creek ran along the north bank.
