We knew we were getting very close to Topaz Lake when we came into the Walker Canyon and saw the Walker River. The road was much more windy before the flood of 1997. Nearly 10 miles of the highway was destroyed (gone!) because of that flood, but it was rebuilt in a matter of 6 months. The canyon has also seen it's fair share of forest fires, too.
But inspite of mother nature it remains a beautiful, scenic river flowing through that canyon. These are the waters that eventually end up in Topaz Lake.
