I love visiting the Hiram M. Chittendon locks, so when a visitor comes to town, as my nephew Tias did today, that's one of the places I try to get to. Beside the locks is the fish ladder with it's viewing windows and signs explaining the life cycle and importance of the salmon. Salmon are of enormous importance to the pacific northwest ecosystem. However, despite all efforts at preservation their numbers have declined dramatically and likely will continue to do so.
