The highest paleostage <br />indicator is constrained by uneroded, old colluvium, and a flood-deposited boulder bar (-250 x <br />100 x >10 feet) with surface boulders up to 2,5 feet in diameter, Boulders up to 10 feet in <br />diameter on the floodplain, from rock fall off canyon walls, are available for transport, but <br />flood flow competence has not been sufficient to substantially move these large boulders, The <br />range of peak discharge is 12,400 to 20,000 ft3/s, <br />
