Summary edit

Description

Since the late 1930s Lake Roosevelt has covered these falls. Down stream, Grand Coulee Dam has usurped this thundering power.

A new power house was added to Grand Coulee in the late 1960s. Lake level was temporarily lowered and the falls re emerged. My brother brought me along (I was a little kid with a camera) to see this "once in a life time" opportunity. Columbia River water thundered again during construction, but only for a short time. Lake Roosevelt has since returned.
