Chittenden Locks

After viewing the glorious scenery from the Space Needle, we went to see the Chittenden Locks. They are set up much the same as the locks in Lockport, New York, but the Chittenden Locks have a fish ladder that runs along side for the salmon. It is a series of 21 steps, and the 18th step has been made into a viewing area:


so you can see the salmon up close and personal:


They had this set of sculptures nearby that looked to me like the Dodge Ram logo:

The atmosphere there was so relaxing, I could have spent hours just watching the boats go through the locks and watching the fish go by, but Ian got hungry again. (What am I going to do when he's a teen?!?)
