Old San Rafael Bridge, Utah, built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930s.

Side view, showing how it's actually a suspension bridge. Apparently it swayed considerably when it was open to automobile traffic! As detailed in the adjacent photo, it was built by the CCC in the 1930s. Photo from the new automobile bridge.

Over the San Rafael River in central Utah, USA. Built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930s as part of Roosevelt's New Deal. It's been replaced by a new bridge for vehicle traffic, but is still open for non-motorized travel.

The plaque on the San Rafael Bridge, Utah.

Eagle Creek campground and picnic area. The overlook looks downstream toward Bonneville Dam, less than a mile away. I believe this trail was built by the CCC, but it doesn't seem to get much use now.

Said to be the first campground build by the USFS, in the teens of the last century. The CCC put in major improvements (including this building) in the 1930s, but at least this part of the campground seems in disrepair. I was there in mid-June, so it should have been tourist season. I gather the building is still used for occasional functions, but I don't know why the campsites were closed. The area is just upstream from Bonneville Dam.

Incongruous plaque on an otherwise generic commercial building--

A close-up of another section of the retaining walls. Again, this was an extraordinary amount of effort to put into what was then an extremely remote area. Toiyabe Range, Nevada, USA. Map location is approximate.

This quixotic CCC project from the mid-30s. The area was _really_ remote then, and even now I'm told much of the trail is now faint from lack of use. In the upper drainage of San Juan Creek. Map location is approximate. Toiyabe Range, central Nevada. "toy-YAH-bee," btw.
