Spring-time clarity on the Yellowstone

We have over 170% of our average snow pack here in the Greater Yellowstone drainage this year. During the past few days, the temperature has been in the high 60's... which has been awesome, but with warm spring-time weather comes melting snow. Melting snow brings muddy water to our Yellowstone River. Every day the river looks a little bit different. Here are several pictures of the River over the past week or so. It is amazing how the visibility changes:
