The Bonneville Dam












After my great hike. I made another good decision and went to visit the Bonneville Dam. Why not? It is located only a few miles away from the starting point of my great hike to visit Dry Creek Falls.
The Bonneville Dam is also on the list of National American Landmarks as of 1987. Commercial production of hydro electric power began in 1938. This historic Dam is named after Army Captain Benjamin Bonneville. Credited with completing exploration of the Oregon Trail.
Enjoy the pictures.

  2. This historic dam produces all the electric power needed for the city of Portland. And it is clean energy.
