The cycle of rain and snow to glacier to meltwater to wetlands to water collecting as a stream ... the water then feeds the flora such as willows and that in turn invites others such as rodents and grizzlies to move in. And we have a community all because of the water. This is the Tatshenshini Pass or Three Guardsmen Pass between Yukon and Haines, Alaska - birthplace of the Tatshenshini River.
