Grand Valley Diversion Roller Dam, Colorado River - William Bay

Grand Valley Diversion Roller Dam, Colorado River

Click image to see larger.

This dam was built over 100 years ago, and still stands today. It’s a remarkable site as you’re driving on the I-70 outside Palisade, Colorado in the De Beque canyon area. The diversion section of the dam routes water into the Grand Valley, as the rest continues on down the Colorado.

It’s such a cool dam, I pulled out my large 4×5 view camera out, and snapped this shot.
