Elwha River free at last

Last week, the last chunk of dam was blasted from the Elwha River in Olympic NP, allowing it to run free from the headwaters to the sea for the first time in a century:

So does the Elwah River look that good, or is she just drawn that way :)?

Actually, I do like the section of trail at the road's end which follows the river past the Hume Ranch. It's usually a good place for deer sightings.
