Description
Bohner Stream drains Sollas Glacier, an alpine glacier on the south side of the valley and flows into Priscu Stream. This stream has a steep gradient for the entire length. The channel is broad. Streambed particles are large, loosely packed, and are embedded in sand-sized sediment. Stream length: 1.2 km.
