Glen Canyon Dam is a concrete arch dam on the Colorado River in northern Arizona in the United States, near the town of Page. The dam was built to provide hydroelectricity and flow regulation from the upper Colorado River Basin to the lower. Its reservoir is called Lake Powell, and is the second largest artificial lake in the country, extending upriver well into Utah. The dam is named for Glen Canyon, a colorful series of gorges, most of which now lies under the reservoir. The dam was proposed in the 1950s as part of the Colorado River Storage Project, a U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) federal water project that would develop reservoir storage on the upper Colorado River and several of its major tributaries. The project's main purpose was to allow the upper basin to better utilize its allocation of river flow as designated in the 1922 Colorado River Compact, and a second purpose was to provide water storage to ensure the delivery of sufficient water to the lower basin during years of drought. However, problems arose when the USBR proposed to build dams in the federally protected Echo Park canyon in Utah. After a long series of legal battles with environmentalist organizations such as the Sierra Club, they settled for a high dam at Glen Canyon. Construction of Glen Canyon Dam started in 1956 and was not finished until 1966. When the reservoir filled, the dam began to deliver a steady, regulated flow of water downstream and a supply of electricity to the region. In 1983, major floods nearly led to the dam's collapse, but disaster was averted by a close margin. By taming floods and other factors that once characterized the Colorado, the dam has led to major physical and ecological changes in the lower river. Controversy continues over the effects both positive and negative of the dam, which has also been antagonized in many literary works. The Glen Canyon Bridge or Glen Canyon Dam Bridge is a steel arch bridge in Coconino County, Arizona, carrying U.S. Route 89 across the Colorado River. The bridge was originally built by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to facilitate transportation of materials for the Glen Canyon Dam, which lies adjacent to the bridge just 865 feet (264 m) upstream. Carrying two lanes, the bridge rises over 700 feet (210 m) above the river and was the highest arch bridge in the world at the time of its completion in 1959.

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.
