The Jackass Butte (an erosional remnant of the Bonneville flooding) can best be seen from here.  Stop 17 in Bonnichsen et al. See the description under the Wikiplacemark for Jackass Butte. 

Description


Bonneville flood

The Bonneville flood was a catastrophic flooding event in the last ice age, which involved massive amounts of water inundating parts of southern Idaho and eastern Washington along the course of the Snake River. Unlike the Missoula Floods, which also occurred during the same period in the Pacific Northwest, the Bonneville flood only happened once. The flood is believed to be the second largest in known geologic history.
