Re-emergence of Glen Canyon
I was in Salt Lake City last week for a symposium on “The Colorado River Compact in the 21st Century: Time for Change?”held at the University of Utah Wallace Stegner Center,and am still climbing out of the avalanche of information that landed on me. Another flurry of blog posts is in the works but in the meantime, here is a picture of an arch at Glen Canyon, which is starting to make a reappearance, courtesy of the dropping water level in Lake Powell. The photograph posted with permission from Tom Till, who included this in his presentation on “The Flowing Desert.” For many, the reappearance of Glen Canyon was the bright spot in the western water crisis. Even Goldwater is said to have regretted his vote for the Glen Canyon Dam. Nevada was not as enthused. More on that to follow.
