Shoshone River Gorge looking down from the walkway along the top of the Buffalo Bill Dam in Cody, WY. Finished in 1910 it was the highest at the time, 350 feet high. It was also expensive in terms of cost in funds, injuries, lives. I still can get the buzzy legs just thinking about looking down over the edge. The workers had to mix batches of cement with no modern machinery and dump the contents into the base. The dam provides irrigation, flood control and electricity.
