It has been 10 months since the breach of Condit Dam that drained Northwestern Lake and allowed the White Salmon River to flow freely from Mount Adams to the Columbia River. I revisited the former lake side to observe how the landscape has changed since my last visit in January. The most obvious change was the recontouring of the land which removed the hard edges created by erosion. Also visible in the images is pioneer vegetation growing on the opposite side of the river. Some tall trees have disappeared from the background. Not visible in the repeat images is the news that steelhead fish have returned to territory that had been blocked by the dam since 1913. The remains of Condit Dam are expected to be completely removed by the end of August 2012.
