The design called for a 12-foot-wide road at water grade with turnouts at every curve. This photograph shows an automobile on a section of that early road, around 1913, below the waterworks. As the image illustrates, the earliest roads left considerable room for improvement. Stories abound about hair-raising wagon journeys—in Big Thompson Canyon, the road was so narrow in places that when two stages met, one would sometimes have to be dismantled, lifted off the road, and then reassembled after the other had passed. As with automobiles later, the vehicle going up always had the right of way. (USFS.)
