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 It's been replaced by a new bridge for vehicle traffic, but is still open for non-motorized travel.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.

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.
