Centennial Park, Pocatello, Idaho

These were taken back in June, but I thought you’d like a tour.

Salmon Sculpture.

Nice shade.

Now looking the other direction, we can see that there is a suspension footbridge over the Portneuf River.

Approaching the bridge,

if you will look to your right

and zoom in, you’ll see the I for Idaho State University marked out on the hillside. Those hills are across the highway on the other side of town. Here, at the south end of Pocatello, the canyon narrows, so everything is closer together.

Now having crossed the bridge, we look back across the river toward the park. We live in a desert basically, so there is a marked contrast between the green of the park and anything that isn’t watered regularly.

This is really boring for those of you who live in Pocatello.

Can we actually see the Portneuf River, you ask? Why yes. And here you can see that couples have put padlocks on the bridge to commemorate the moment.

          The locks all have dates and initials on them. Like, “this is the day we were here.” So I assume they commemorate the trip to the bridge or even an engagement date.
