Signal Peak has a nice dusting - the goat trail has plenty of snow on it! View is from Cisco.
The Bowman Waste Dam is the overflow for Bowman Lake. They've put concrete slabs on things to control the flow and prevent it from scouring the rocks.
I tried walking up the lower road to the dam, but the big building there looks occupied, so I decided to walk to the top of the dam instead. The afterbay from the powerhouse retains water for the Bowman-Spaulding Conduit (the canal you can see from the roadside at Windy Cliffs.)
Though a bit low, Bowman still looks nice.
The original dam was built in 1876 and raised in 1927. The lower block was at the top of the original dam and was moved when they raised it.
The upper lake is really down. The stream running into the lake is from the Milton-Bowman tunnel.
Lake Faucherie has a lot of snow up above!
English Mountain has a dusting on the south slope as well (bet there's a lot on the north side!)
They've got the flow turned up pretty good from Faucherie - this is Canyon Creek just downstream of the dam.
There are a couple of big pools downstream, and there are some big fish in them! I estimated a foot or so.
Some of the shady corners were snow-covered...
The mountains above Faucherie from a nearby meadow.
All the little stream crossings have water in them from the recent rain and snow.
The peaks above Canyon Creek/Bowman from Celina Ridge.
Discovered a few new loops and plowed through a lot of water in the Celina area (that's the big ridge alongside the road to Washington). Nice day, despite the snow on the ground, it got to around 55 degrees.
Here are historical pictures of the dams. This is the waste dam in the 1800's:
My view from the dam shows the same road, but now the afterbay covers where the little bridge is. There is a large building where the small cottage was.
) windy point, i always assumed it was a made up name 
. Its hard to tell whats the truth when your fathers even more sarcastic then yourself...
