Dam amazing efforts- Ross was built in 3 stages, supposed to have had a 4th but Canada would have been impacted by the flooding raising the dam would create... bureaucratic hooha got the last stage stopped.
I believe BC is still paying some sort of stipend for the "favor" of us not flooding more of their territory.
I'm thankful the project has stopped, it would have drown many many sites that I have fond memories of.

Do you have any before and after shots of how the Twin Rivers/Haller park has changed?
No I don't, I may find an opportunity for some after shots though.

East side Ross spillway, you can see the checkerboard surface left for the 4th phase build to grab onto.


My son and his 2011 adventure crew looking at the 500' drop off the dam edge with the Ross Power house thrumming in the near distance and Colonial, Pyramid peaks and Paul Bunyan's stump in the deep distance.
