| Going-to-the-Sun Road needs guardrails to keep cars from plunging over the cliff edges. At first, they were built of stone, but avalanches roaring down the mountainsides would destroy them, or pile up LOTS of snow on the roads, making it harder for plows to finally get through in the spring/summer. Now they bolt on wooden logs as guardrails, and remove them each winter so the avalanches can flow freely. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em! |
