What is predict the peak?
Each spring as snow melts in the mountains, it feeds the rivers with a pulse of water, bringing the highest streamflows of the year to our rivers. The “peak flow” changes year-to-year in timing and volume. Predict this year’s correct “peak flow” for the Flathead, Yellowstone, Bitterroot, Gallatin, or all four and WIN! Proceeds support the non-profit’s doing stewardship work on these rivers. Place your guess by MAY 22 or until the flow peaks!

Why predict the peak matters?
Climate change is causing lower snowpack, earlier runoff, and increasing variability in precipitation. These changes can ultimately lead to reduced streamflows and drought conditions, which affect everything from our natural resources, to our food, to our way of life. The work our organization does helps to moderate the effects of climate change, so please support us by participating in Predict the Peak!
