PINE CANYON: Convict labor from the state penitentiary built the first Pine Canyon road from Orondo to Waterville in 1915-17. It was about five miles long, 30 feet wide, with a maximum grade of five percent. The new section branched off the original Corbaley Canyon road. Pine Canyon road was rebuilt in 1949-50 and in the late 1960s.The trip through Pine Canyon to and from Waterville can still be an adventure, but it's nothing like it was in this photo.
