"The
Grand Coulee Dam, located on the Columbia River is the largest
concrete structure in the United States. In addition to producing
up to 6.5 million kilowatts of power, the dam irrigates over half
a million acres of Columbia river basin farm land and provides
abundant wildlife and recreation areas."
We were not
at all surprised to see a very high degree of security here. Indeed,
not even backpacks or purses were allowed inside the Information
Center. Below is the Incline Railway which carries folks who take
the tour from ground level to nearly water level.
