About a hundred years ago, a new and larger dam was built at Lake Spaulding in the Sierras as the supply for a series of tunnels, flumes, ditches, siphons and powerhouses that ran for sixty miles. This view shows the rock foundations for the original wooden flume and the current steel one. Numerous curves were eliminated by building trestle-like supports. Walking on the grating going upstream give the feeling that you?re really moving along.
