These stairs normally lead down to a beach that is a couple of metres wide. Flooding at Allen Bill Pond was the most dramatic in the entire Elbow Valley. The normally placid water was a fast flowing river with eddies.

The parking lot at the east end of Allen Bill had become part of the pond, with the toilet marooned by high water. Picnic tables were surrounded by water. Uprooted trees were floating downstream

This is an overview of Allen Bill Pond taken from a hilltop at the west end of the pond. The parking lot is at the top left of the dramatically enlarged pond.

This is the Elbow as it leaves the Little Elbow Recreation Area. In the background the snow-covered summit of Banded Peak is shrouded in the clouds.

This is the (not so) Little Elbow as it Flows under the footbridge. Although the rivers here were swollen, the effects of the flooding was not as great as it was downstream.

At the bottom, you can see a bit of the Little Elbow Trail, before it became overwhelmed by flooding. The trail continues in the centre-right of the photo. Even at low water, parts of this trail have surrendered to the river.

This bridge is strategically placed at the start of the Little Elbow Interpretive trail near the Forgetmenot Day Use Area parking lot. The Forgetmenot Pond seemed to be relatively unaffected.

This mudslide took out a chunk of hillside along Hwy 66 near the Rainy Creek pull-out. Caution is advised when walking along the edge of hills and cliffs.
