Warming temperatures melted a substantial snow pack across the lower elevations of western Sweetwater County. This snow melting, combined with ice jams, brought flooding along the Blacks Fork River from Little America through Granger . The river crested between 12.5 and 13 feet at the Little America flood gauge, which is a record level. A mobile home park along the river was evacuated for a couple of days. However, little or no damage was done and other flooding was restricted to low lying areas
