Climbing up Engineer Pass. Not a difficult road at this point. Didn't even need 4-wheel drive |
 |
You can see the snow starting to stick in the mountains above us |
 |
Looking out as it is snowing. It is not really sticking to the ground where we were |
 |
Some pretty deep ruts here. Had it 4-wheel drive and went right through them |
 |
You can see how distorted our axle got as we went through the ruts |
 |
All that to reach this abandoned mine. They had it gated off so we couldn't look inside |
 |
This sure looked a lot steeper when we were going down it. I buried our hitch in the mud while climbing
up here |
 |
This is looking down about 1500 feet into a river. The path at this point was about 8 feet wide
but very flat
|
 |
This is looking down the valley that we will be travelling towards. This is the same point as
the picture above except you are looking out and not down
|
 |
Here are the Utah Watsons in front of us - those leaves were a neon yellow. Beautiful! |
 |
Just about finished here - you can see the roadway in the bottom part of the picture |
 |
On the way back to Cascade Village we stopped into Silverton to see the town a little more.
This is looking up the street one way |
 |
And this is looking down the street the other way - not much to see except a gravel road and
some shops |
