Images of Historical Upper Skagit Valley

Travelers and packers desiring to go up river beyond Marblemount had to negotiate some pretty tricky traverses of the narrow canyon. This is a photo of the famous Devil's Elbow, with its precariously perched cantilevered boardwalk leading around the protruding rock face, perched above the roaring Skagit River below. Today one travels thru a short tunnel drilled through the hard rock at this point.

Would you buy a used chamber pot from this man? An un-named traveling salesman showing off some of his goods for sale to his up-river clientele.
