Hiking Cassidy Arch Trail | Capitol Reef National Park, Utah
Family hiking to Cassidy Arch in Capitol Reef National Park, Utah. This is a popular trail thought we were alone on the trail went we visited end of October 2017.
Cassidy Arch, named after famous train and bank robber Butch Cassidy. He was a native from Utah. According to the legend, Cassidy and his gang used the arch as one of their hideouts.
The beginning of the hike is moderate to strenuous. Kairns are sometimes difficult to spot. Bring plenty of water, particularly in the summer as there is no shade on the trail, except at the end of the day. Due to some parts with steep drop off, it is not recommended for people with vertigo or who fear heights.

Lake Powell, Page, United states 1999
Lake Powell, Page, Utah - Arizona border, United States
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. Due to high water withdrawals for human and agricultural consumption, and because of subsequent droughts in the area, Lake Powell is currently the largest reservoir in the United States in terms of capacity 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
Lake Powell is a water 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).

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.
Drought
Upon completion of Glen Canyon Dam on September 13, 1963, the Colorado River began to back up, no longer being diverted through the tunnels. The newly flooded Glen Canyon formed Lake Powell. It took 11 years for the lake to fill to the 3,700 feet (1,100 m) level, on June 22, 1980. The lake level fluctuates considerably depending on the seasonal snow runoff from the Rocky Mountains.[4][5][6] The all-time highest water level was reached on July 14, 1983, during one of the heaviest Colorado River floods in recorded history, in part influenced by a strong El Niño event.
In what locals nickname the “bathtub ring” runs for most of Lake Powell’s 1,900-mile shoreline, which is half as long again as the US west coast. The ring of white calcium carbonate absorbed into the rock from the water contrasts sharply with the deep colors of the sandstone (clearly visible in the video). These days, it also provides a dramatically visible marker of the crisis facing the Colorado river after years of diminishing snowfalls on the Rockies.
Today the bathtub ring towers 100ft or more above the boaters as what federal officials are describing as the worst drought in the Colorado Basin in a century diminishes a river that provides water to 40 million people in seven states. Lake Powell – a crucial cog in the machinery of water delivery – is at only 45% of capacity currently and is larger than Lake Mead in total water capacity.
The current 15-year drought is the worst drought in the last 100 years and based on tree ring studies going back to 1075 the region is now in fourth-worst drought since 1075. The longest drought seen in the last millennia was 60 years. So the drought and weather cycles have a natural variability to them but recent data is leading to a conclusion that warmer temperatures fueled by climate change are having a heavier impact on the region.
Impact of Global Climate Change
The current number of Americans relying on water from the Colorado river is 40M and growing annually and more than 4.5M acres of farm land. But flows in recent decades have been lighter than would have been expected given annual rain and snowfall rates — and a new study has pinpointed rising temperatures as the likely culprit.
The newest research from the Geophysical Research Letters by academics and federal scientists, focused on the upper stretches of the river. It attempted to parse out the different roles of temperature, precipitation and soil moisture on the variability of yearly water flows since reliable record-keeping began in 1906. Annual Colorado River flows have naturally swung up and down over time, but the natural trends have been bucked in recent years and decades.
The data seen in the region currently is now consistent with more of the global observations in terms of warming, that it’s not just a fluctuation that’s within that historical back and forth but that the Oscillation is now breaking away from normal variability ranges seen historically.
Rising global temperatures appear to have been playing a larger role in reducing the flows of water down the Colorado River since the late 1980s. As temperatures initially increase more snow actually falls in lieu of rain. These earlier temperature rises cause the snow packs to melt earlier. The combined effects of this actually lengthens the growing seasons of riverside vegetation, which allows it to suck up much more water than normal as it grows, along with more water loss to due evaporation.
However, as temperatures continue to rise scientists predict we could then then see a shift away from more snow pack and into more rain fall which would then lessen the total volume of snow pack and reducing the water volumes of the snow pack that that melt slowly to fill up rivers. It is further predicted that rising temperature will cause storms to shift southward which exacerbate the diminishing snow pack even more.

Natural Pot Hole Cliff Jump - Lake Powell - GoPro
With the ever changing water levels at Lake Powell, something that you see this year will be swallowed up by high water levels or completely dried up and out of range next year. Fortunately for us, we found a perfect little pool where we were able to do some cliff jumping this year.
I'd love to hear about your experiences! Leave a comment and let me know if you've been here or have other fun experiences like this.
Exploring Southern Utah's Hidden Gem | Kanab, Utah
My family and I recently took a road trip to Southern Utah's hidden gem - the city of Kanab. We explored local sites they had to offer (Moqui Caves, Sand Caves, Peekaboo Slot Canyon). We also drove out to Page, Arizona to see the Horseshoe Bend and to eat at Big John's BBQ. Overall, a very good trip!

Hole In The Rock Road, Utah - Escalante to Lake Powell
Like Drivelapse? Friend it!
Ready to spend an entire day in one of the most remote corners of the USA? Take a drive down Hole In The Rock Road and end up 56 miles from the nearest pavement. Hole In The Rock Road cuts into the heart of the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, to a dead-end, high above Lake Powell, a.k.a. the Colorado River.
That dead-end was a major obstacle for early Mormon settlers. They needed to cross the river, in order to settle the land on the opposite side. The only way down to the river was to build an almost-vertical road, by blasting away rock in a narrow slot in the cliff, then lowering their wagons down by rope.
Nowadays, it's impossible to imagine that their mission was successful. It's quite a feat just to make it to the end of the road in a regular vehicle (though it can be done without 4-wheel-drive). The rewards for driving this road are immense -- you get to see an other-worldly corner of Utah, and experience overwhelming solitude.
