Rock Walls

Notice the rock wall at this trestle. The wall has survived for over 100 years without shifting, crumbling or falling apart.

What you are looking at is a dry rock wall - no mortar, no glue. Every rock was carefully shaped to fit tightly and snugly into the wall by the sheer skill of the men who built it.

Those men, primarily Italian, were brought to Myra Canyon because of their skills in stone masonry. They were among the best in the world at what they did.
