Exploring the North Fork Canyon Below Bill Cody Dam

This was a fun family outing.  We took a short cut under the road through a culvert about four feet high to get to the bridge.  From here we traveled upstream almost to the base of Bill Cody dam that you can see in the following pictures.  Two people have told us that this river drops more per mile than any other in the continental united states.  In its day, the dam was the highest concrete dam in the world and was the prototype for the Hoover and other dams found on the Colorado River.
