Water and water rights have been fought over ever since ranchers and settlers moved into Wyoming, Montana, and the West. Even today farmers and ranchers fight cities and large developments over water from snowmelt that originates deep in the Rocky Mountains. A river starts in a massive and beautiful lake. Then it flows through prime trout fishing areas to a famous waterfall. After it leaves the park, the river is an important source of water for wildlife, ranchers, farmers, and cities downstream.
