Description
Just past the Tooth Rock Tunnel Bridge, there's a small circular overlook. Lancaster designed this as part of the original road and he called it the Eagle's Nest. Originally the view here consisted of the river and the small town of Bonneville. Later, it was a good place to watch the early construction of the Bonneville Dam. There are several anecdotal tales of collisions when moving cars hit stopped cars here.
