Bonneville Dam

After returning to the 84/30 we ended up at the Bonneville Dam in search of a bathroom! It was a good stop though as the view (and sound) of the dam was impressive.



The river leading from the Bonneville Dam.



Near the dam was a fish ladder, and you could go see underwater to watch fish migrating. At the time we were there no fish were using it but it was a neat idea.



Some views of the area around the Bonneville Dam and museum.



Also, there were so many beautiful flowers in bloom we came across in different places. There were many large bushes of these azaleas near the museum and along the road.

A very scenic bathroom stop!

Isn't it though!

And, all things considered, a wise place to put a public restroom.

Lovely flowers - and I love the fish ladder!

How interesting! I've never seen a dam (or fish ladder) in person.

I can think of worse places for a loo break! :o)

That is such a lovely area!

I'm always grateful when these kinds of places are built with the fish ladder; there are some dams that give no thought to it at all, and the damage it's done to some species is just terrible.

Utrecht in the Netherlands has made similar accommodations for spring migrations of fish through their canal system: https://common-nature.dreamwidth.org/281642.html
