In the desert SouthWest of the United States, we had slot canyons and you can tell the level of the floods by the tree trunks caught in the canyon walls, sometimes thirty feet up the walls of the canyon. I assume that the logs caught here above the water reflect the same flood possibilities. I have seen flash floods in the desert but I have not been to Canada enough to see any of these rivers in flood stage, but I imagine it is pretty scary.
