Elbow Valley Update

Tues. April 1, 2014:  Elbow Valley Update

Today I drove up the Elbow Valley for the first time since late last year.  The repaired Elbow River bridge is now open to one-way traffic, and the temporary bridge has been completely removed.  Further up the valley at the Elbow Falls, the rock which guards the Falls had taken on a new appearance with its white snow-cap!
Here are some pics:

Elbow River Bridge deck remains to be completed
