The once-towering Glines Canyon Dam's days are numbered.

The final 30 feet of the concrete goliath, which once stood 210 feet tall along the Elwha River, are expected to be gone by this fall as the dam removal portion of the $325 million Elwha River restoration project prepares to draw to a close.

Lake Mills on the Elwha is almost history

Lake Mills has been steadily dropping since dam removal began on the river in September 2011. But, depending on weather over this weekend, it will be gone by next week. The lake is only about 8 to 10 feet deep at the deepest right now -- down from 180 feet before workers began taking down the 210 foot tall Glines Canyon Dam, now only about 70 feet high.
