Description
Huey Creek drains a small glacier that lies in a steep-sided hollow. In the upper stream reaches, the gradient is steep, with high banks subject to erosion during peak flows. In the lower 2 km the gradient is shallow, the stream-bed is wide and braided, and the banks are more gently sloping. Stream length: 2.1 km.
