Product Description

Upper Stillwater Dam is a grade 2 piece about a dam located in the High

Uintas of Duchesne County, Utah. As one hikes up the road towards the

dam it appears to rise out of the trees until its full width can be viewed. It

is an awe inspiring sight and is somewhat of an engineering wonder being

the longest roller-compacted gravity concrete dam in North America. At

times during Spring it creates a 600 ft. wide, 200 ft. tall waterfall that

spills over and down the stepped spillway. The dam's construction was

notable among residents of the area and is still talked about by many to

this day. There is a campground nearby and lots of wildlife. Be especially

careful of the bears! The music tries to depict the grand wonder of the dam

and capture some of the surrounding sights and sounds as well.
