→Climate change impacts: Actually, this looks a bit peripheral to the subject matter of this article; perhaps it could be included in the “Ecology” section of the Grand Teton National Park article. Additionally, the first two sentences appear to be a copyvio. |

It has been predicted that high elevation ecosystems will be strongly impacted by climate change. Invertebrates of high elevation streams and lakes have little area to move to in response to increasing temperatures; therefore, research has focused on the resident invertebrates of certain high elevation areas in the Grand Tetons, including Death Creek which is fed by around 24 tributaries, one of which originates in Forget-Me-Not Lakes.<ref name=UofW /> |

Forget-me-not Lakes is a high elevation ecosystem located in Grand Teton National Park, in the U. S. state of Wyoming.[2] It is located 8.8 miles (14.2 km) from Moose Wilson Road, in Teton County, and situated 1 mile (1.6 km) west of Rimrock Lake and Prospectors Mountain. The lakes consist of several small bodies of water, the largest 150 yd (140 m) long and 180 yd (160 m) wide. Death Creek has 24 tributary streams, several of which originate from Death Shelf springs; two tributaries originate from Forget-Me-Not Lakes, elevation 9,600 feet (2,900 m) and Rimrock Lake 9,915 feet (3,022 m)[3][4] and are located in a remote area near the head of Death Canyon on the slopes of Prospectors Mountain.[5]
