In part 1 we looked downstream in Fremont Canyon. This time, we look upstream towards where the canyon begins after the North Platte River meanders north from the Pathfinder Dam.
This is my favorite view from behind the Ponderosa pine on the cliffs.
From the viewing platform...
The Ponderosa pine.
There's a sad story about this bridge - one that's told to teenagers to this day to remind them to be careful of who they meet and where... The rape and murder/attempted-murder of two girls back in 1973 and the subsequent death of the survivor in 1992. You can read about this tragic story here as the local area continues to reflect on this tragedy.
The view from the bridge, looking upstream.
The tunnel to the power plant... I'm not a hobbit or a dwarf who likes to be underground!
Next time, we'll be at Pathfinder Dam.
