Thus the meltwater from the Galena Creek rock glacier is not exclusively composed of melted glacial ice, which indicates that the rock glacier is not retreating at the same rate as was originally thought.
Galena Creek rock glacier is approximately 180 kilometers (km) north of the Upper Fremont Glacier, 65 km northwest of Cody, Wyoming, and 7 km east of the boundary of Yellowstone National Park (figure 1).
O results from the Galena Creek rock glacier core (-17.40±0.1 to -17.98±0.1 per mil, table 2) are similar to the results for late-fall or early-spring precipitation in the Rocky Mountains as found in ice from the Upper Fremont Glacier (Naftz et al., 1996).

 Galena Creek Falls | Waterfalls of the Pacific Northwest
Even though Yellowjacket Creek Road has been permanently washed out at Veta Creek, people seem to still find things to do up here (this area seems to be popular for gathering fire wood).
Galena Creek forms a virtually perfect example of a fan shaped waterfall as it splashes into a small pool.
Best views are had from on the logjam, and on the opposite side of the creek, which can be easily crossed on one of the fallen logs.

 1998 agu poster
The Galena Creek rock glacier, Absaroka Mountains, Wyoming, is the site of ongoing research on the flow dynamics of a valley-type rock glacier.
The ultimate goal of our research is to establish a model of rock glacier rheology and dynamics based on long-term surface and interior observations at the Galena Creek rock glacier.
This drop in downglacier ice flux implies that the rock glacier is not in steady-state, and possibly that the Galena Creek rock glacier actually consists of two independent, active, lobes.

 Galena Creek | Nevada Snowshoe Trails
The most difficult stretch of trail, common to both routes, occurs shortly after the beginning of the trip, where the route leaves Galena Creek County Park and enters Forest Service land.
The creek slices through tangled vegetation at the bottom of a deep, forested canyon, an obstacle which is surmounted by climbing high above the stream along a steep hillside.
Nearly twice as long as the lower route, the upper route passes through the best of the scenery in the upper canyon, eventually connecting with the Upper Galena Creek / Mt. Rose routes.

9614424 Steig We propose a comprehensive study of a rock glacier at Galena Creek in the Absaroka Mountains, northwestern Wyoming, to determine the potential of rock glaciers as sources for ice-core paleoclimate records.
The Galena Creek rock glacier is one of the most easily-accessible and well-studied glaciological techniques to the Galena Creek rock glacier to determine mass balance, flow characteristics, and internal composition and chemistry.
Rock glaciers are ubiquitous features in arctic and alpine regions, yet they have been largely ignored by glaciologists, in part because of the widely-held belief that they are essentially ice-cemented talus.
