The view of Mount Baker from the dam
Downstream of the dam
At the foot of the dam
Looking across the dam, built in 1924. Notice the old (retired) pipe on the far side, which served as a salmon run
The view straight down, over the sluice gates
Sluice gate machinery
The powerhouse, built in the late 50's, slanted roof to protect the structure from landslides, which destroyed the original powerhouse. Notice the hefty crain, towering above
The high-side 115 kV lines come straight out from the building, the transformer is housed inside
The shaft coming up from the turbine
The valve to control flow into the turbine
Below the valve, the 20 ft diameter intake pipe
The governor
The transformer, housed within the powerhouse, water-cooled by the dam
