Spectacular Soda Dams, Jemez Springs Thousands of years in the making -this dam is now about 350 feet long, 50 feet high, and 50 feet wide at the bottom. This strange geological formation is caused by tiny calcium deposits of the soda springs which are found in this area. This natural wonder is still in the process of building, and now extends across the entire Jemez Canyon. Kodachrome by Natural Color Post Card/Distributed by Alfred McGarr Adv. Service
