Close to the end of the trail, we get a preview of the final viewpoint. The cableworks can be spotted from here.

Our final destination: the old ruins of the cableworks that guard over the main canyon.

The cableworks haven't been used in over 70 years! Note: Please do not climb on,
lean on, or disturb the old structure.

An older photo of the ruins that I took in 1998 -- eight years before the photos above. There was much more
to the ruins less than a decade ago. The current structure has been stripped and reinforced.
