There's so much to see and explore on Montjuic. In this case, I opted for a lovely walk down the mountain from the aerial tram terminal back into the city below.

The Botanical Gardens of Barcelona are on the slopes of Montjuic. Divided into different Mediterranean climate zones from around the world, ranging from North Africa to California, the gardens have wonderful views of the city below and, for a homesick Californian, a botanical taste of home.

Bluestone Dam, a concrete gravity dam located just upstream of the confluence of the New and Greenbrier rivers in Summer County, WV. The dam is 165 feet (50 m) high and 2,048 feet (624 m) long. The dam was authorized by a presidential executive order in 1935 and approved by the United States Congress in the Flood Control Acts of 1936 and 1938. Construction began in early 1941 but was suspended in 1944 because of World War II. Work resumed in 1946, and completed for operational purposes in 1949.

In recent years, it was discovered that Bluestone Dam would be unable to pass the Probable Maximum Flood possible at the site, which could cause failure of the dam. To remedy the problem, the United States Army Corps of Engineers has undertaken a Dam Safety Assurance program for Bluestone. The DSA project includes raising the dam by 8 feet (2.4 m), installing anchors and thrust blocks to tie the dam into bedrock, spillway improvements and other work. The first phase of the project was completed in October 2004. The second phase, installing bedrock anchors, was completed in 2011. Three additional phases remain to be constructed.
