The Colorado River and its many
tributaries, including the Dirty Devil,
Paria, Escalante, and San Juan rivers,
carve through the Colorado Plateau
to form a landscape of dynamic
and complex desert and
water environments.
The vast, rugged landscapes of
Glen Canyon National Recreation Area
provide an unparalleled spectrum
of diverse land- and water-based
recreational opportunities for visitors
of wide-ranging interests and abilities.
Glen Canyon National Recreation Area
preserves a record of more than
10,000 years of human presence,
adaptation, and exploration.
This place remains significant for many
descendant communities, providing
opportunities for people to connect
with cultural values and associations
that are both ancient and contemporary.
The deep, 15-mile-long, narrow gorge
below the dam provides a glimpse
of the high canyon walls,
ancient rock art, and a vestige
of the riparian and beach terrace
environments that were seen by
John Wesley Powell’s
Colorado River expedition in 1869,
providing a stark contrast to the impounded
canyons of Lake Powell.
Rainbow Bridge is one of the world’s
largest natural bridges and is a
premier example of eccentric stream
erosion in a remote area of the
Colorado Plateau.
For many indigenous peoples in
the Four Corners region,
Rainbow Bridge is a spiritually occupied
landscape that is inseparable from
their cultural identities and
traditional beliefs. And
eastern Pueblo villages
along the Rio Grande River.
Traditional Cultural Property
and Values: Rainbow Bridge and the
immediately surrounding landscape
are considered sacred by, and are
vitally linked with the histories,
cultural practices, ceremonial
activities, and oral traditions
of associated American Indian tribes.

Hiking around Lake Powell 2015
Hiking around Lake Powell in 2015.
Lake Powell is a reservoir on the Colorado River, straddling the border between Utah and Arizona (most of it, along with Rainbow Bridge, is in Utah). It is a major vacation spot that around 2 million people visit every year. It is the second largest man-made reservoir by maximum water capacity in the United States behind Lake Mead, storing 24,322,000 acre feet (3.0001×1010 m3) of water when full. However, due to high water withdrawals for human and agricultural consumption, and because of subsequent droughts in the area, Lake Powell is currently larger than Mead in terms of volume of water currently held, depth and surface area. Lake Powell was created by the flooding of Glen Canyon by the Glen Canyon Dam, which also led to the creation of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, a popular summer destination. The reservoir is named for explorer John Wesley Powell, a one-armed American Civil War veteran who explored the river via three wooden boats in 1869.
In 1972, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area was established. It is public land managed by the National Park Service, and available to the public for recreational purposes. It lies in parts of Garfield, Kane, and San Juan counties in southern Utah, and Coconino County in northern Arizona. The northern limits of the lake extend at least as far as the Hite Crossing Bridge. A map centered at the confluence of the Escalante River 37°17′22″N 110°52′20″W with the Colorado River gives a good view of the extent of the lake.

Lake Powell is a storage facility for the Upper Basin states of the Colorado River Compact (Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and New Mexico). The Compact specifies that the Upper Basin states are to provide a minimum annual flow of 7,500,000 acre feet (9.3 km3) to the Lower Basin states (Arizona, Nevada, and California).

Arizona/Utah Roadtrip Pt. 1 - Glen Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, Antelope Canyon, Lake Powell Travel Vlog
WanderLost Vlog #28: Arizona/Utah Road Trip Pt. 1 - Glen Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, Antelope Canyon, Lake Powell Travel Vlog [HD]
The U.S. is filled with such raw beauty with remarkable terrain ever changing from sea to shining sea. The rugged interior is no exception. What an amazing and inspiring drive to through the states of Nevada, Arizona, and Utah. For this Vlog, I travel to Arizona in the American Southwest Region. First up is Glen Canyon Dam, a 710 foot (220 m) high hydroelectric dam was built in 1966 and forms Lake Powell. The dam is named for Glen Canyon, a series of deep sandstone gorges. Next is Antelope Canyon was formed by erosion of a reddish Navajo Sandstone. The striations of the sandstone in contrast with the reflecting light make this Canyon a photographic gem. Afterwards we head to the Glen Canyon Overlook to enjoy a wonderful sunrise view of the immense system of canyons carved by the Colorado River and its tributaries. The iconic Horseshoe Bend follows where one can gaze upon a perfect horseshoe-shaped incised meander of the Colorado River. Lastly we head to an Overlook by Lake Powell which is the second largest man-made lake in the US and without doubt one of the most scenic.
