Comments:
Entrenchment varies within segment. Segment begins where valley opens up and channel dimensions are clearly different than downstream of culvert. There is little buffer at beginning of segment and then it becomes mostly forested in corridor and difficult to determine valley walls. Very broad valley. Upstream portion of segment (just downstream of underground culvert system at the Inn at the Mountain) has iron bacteria covering substrate for about 300 feet of stream.
