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

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.

CONSTRUCTION OF GLEN CANYON DAM LAKE POWELL PAGE ARIZONA 49844
Support Our Channel :
The International Harvester Company in cooperation with the United States Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation presents “A Bridge to the Future,” the story of the construction of the Glen Canyon Dam, a concrete arch-gravity dam (mark 03:00) near the town of Page, Arizona. The 710-foot high dam was built from 1956 to 1966 and forms Lake Powell, one of the largest man-made reservoirs in the United States. Although the film begins with the 1959 opening of a bridge over Glen Canyon in Northern Arizona — one constructed on ancestral Navajo Indian land — a spectacular steel arch spanning the Colorado River “like a gleaming cathedral in the wilderness” (mark 02:18), the bridge was just part of a larger project. Respected NBC newscaster Chet Huntley serves as narrator, and he explains that the story of “winning America’s West” is essentially a tale of its dams. Without dams, he explains, water would never have found its way to the parched earth. The dam is the product of more than 35 years of planning by engineers, he explains at mark 04:45, with the camera zooming to a three-dimensional scale model at mark 05:26 and a discussion of the dam’s construction. The remote location presented a variety of problems, Huntley explains, first requiring the construction of a simple footbridge (mark 07:50). As the film continues, Huntley continues to explain the challenges and how they were overcome. Trucks are shown hauling away tons of rock blown from the canyon walls (mark 13:25), a process that took nearly two years. A tunnel constructed to relocate the path of the Colorado River nears completion in 1959, as is shown at mark 16:02. With a temporary dam in place (mark 21:50), the town of Page, which sprung up as a housing community for workers and their families during the construction, continued to grow as the film shows an aerial view of the community at mark 22:00 before visiting the town swimming pool, grade school, churches, and hospital. At mark 24:05 we see the first bucket of concrete for the dam deposited during a ceremony on June 17, 1960, and workers prepare to construct the dam itself.
Glen Canyon Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam on the Colorado River in northern Arizona, United States, near the town of Page. The 710-foot (220 m) high dam was built by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) from 1956 to 1966 and forms Lake Powell, one of the largest man-made reservoirs in the U.S. with a capacity of 27 million acre feet (33 km3). The dam is named for Glen Canyon, a series of deep sandstone gorges now flooded by the reservoir; Lake Powell is named for John Wesley Powell, who in 1869 led the first expedition to traverse the Colorado's Grand Canyon by boat.
During years of drought, Glen Canyon guarantees a water delivery to the Lower Basin states, without the need for rationing in the Upper Basin. In wet years, it captures extra runoff for future use. The dam is also a major source of hydroelectricity, averaging over 4 billion kilowatt hours per year. The long and winding Lake Powell, known for its scenic beauty and recreational opportunities including houseboating, fishing and water-skiing, attracts millions of tourists each year to the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.
In addition to its flooding of the scenic Glen Canyon, the dam's economic justification was highly questioned; with what critics saw as unnecessary damage to the wilderness, it became a catalyst for the modern environmental movement, and was one of the last dams of its size to be built in the United States.The dam has been criticized for the huge evaporative losses from Lake Powell and its heavy impact on the ecology of the Grand Canyon, which lies downstream; environmental groups continue to advocate for the dam's removal. Water managers and utilities state that the dam is a major source of renewable energy and provides a vital defense against severe droughts.

Glen Canyon National Recreation Area near Page, Arizona - April 2012
Encompassing over 1.2 million acres in Arizona and Utah, the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area is managed by the National Park Service. Lake Powell, the second largest man-made lake in the U.S., and the surrounding countryside became a part of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in 1972. What I remember most about my visit in April is the stark contrast between Lake Powell's deep blue water and the red Navajo sandstone that surrounds it and often towers above it. There is very little vegetation around the lake. The site of the ancestral Puebloan petroglyphs on the Colorado River I found memorable as well.

Horseshoe Bend in Glen Canyon near Page, Arizona
Distance: 1.5 miles (2.4 km) roundtrip. Walking time: 45 minutes.
Whether this is your first or hundredth visit to this awe-inspiring bend in the Colorado River, you are guaranteed to see something new. The colors of the rocks change throughout the day, the shadows move in and out of the canyons, and as the river flows, it sparkles and shines in different shades of green and blue. As you make your way along the trail, use this guide to bring you closer to some of the details others may have missed along the way.
The Trail
As you walk up the path, the trudge up the sandy hill might seem like a nuisance; but it is actually a walk through cycles of time. About 200 million years ago this sand was part of the largest system of sand dunes the North American continent may have ever seen. These “sand seas” are known as ergs. Our enormous erg was eventually hardened by water and minerals into Navajo Sandstone, an amazing uniform, smooth sandstone layer. It stretches from Arizona to Wyoming, and it can be over two thousand feet thick in some places. When you reach the edge of
Horseshoe Bend you will be looking down 1000 feet (305 meters) of the sandstone to the river. After the Navajo Sandstone hardened, other layers of sandstone, mudstone, and different sedimentary layers piled on top of it. Then, after a couple of million years, patient water in the form of rain, ice, floods, and streams, worked to erode away the different layers.Today the
Navajo Sandstone is once again exposed, and its sand is slowly wearing away. So now, what you are walking upon is sand from the Navajo Sandstone, which was from the giant Jurassic erg – recycled sand!
Recycled Sand
Are you at the top of the hill? Look around you. In front of you is the rest of the trail to Horseshoe Bend, and beyond that are the Paria Plateau and Vermillion Cliffs, managed by the Bureau of Land Management. To your right the river leads up to Lake Powell in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Behind you, the ever-growing city of Page. And to your left stretches the vast Navajo Nation. You are standing at the crossroads of these unique natural and cultural meeting places.
Where am I?
As you descend, the path is a little bumpier. It alternates between a whitish gravel, more sand, and some pretty solid, sloping rocks, the Navajo Sandstone. Notice how the rock itself has diagonal
striped layers. These are the remnants of the layers of the ancient massive sand dunes before they were petrified into stone. The whitish stones tell us how the sandstone was petrified. This rock is calcite, or limestone, the same rock that drips itself into
cave formations. Back 180 million years ago, this mineral mixed in with the rain and snow to cement the grains of sand together. The process took about Crunchy Rocks 20 million years, but eventually all of the sand dunes were petrified by the calcite, retaining their beautiful sloping dune shapes. Today, as the grains of sand
erode, chunks of the calcite also present themselves. As you get closer to the viewpoint, some of the rocks are covered with hard, sandy bumps. These are concretions of iron. Iron, being heavier than sand grains, was attracted to itself in ball shape while the
sandstone was being petrified. Now that the sandstone is eroding away, the iron concretions are coming into view as well. When the little concretion balls break free from the rock, they are known as “Moki Marbles.
You’ve made it. Worth the walk, wasn’t it? The view of Horseshoe Bend from the rim of the canyon is extraordinary. (You’ll need a wide-angle lens to get the entire scene in your picture!) If you find the height a little daunting, try lying down on the ground and looking over the edge that way. It gives you a much better sense of security. Make sure you keep an eye on your animal companions as well; they can slip as easily as you. Below you, the Colorado River makes a wide sweep around a sandstone escarpment. Long ago, as the river meandered southward toward the sea, it always chose the steepest downward slope. This downward journey did not always occur in a straight line, and sometimes the river made wide circles and meanders. As the Colorado Plateau uplifted about 5 million years ago, the rivers that meandered across the ancient landscape were trapped in their beds. The rivers cut through the rock, deep and fast, seeking a new natural level. Here at Horseshoe Bend, the Colorado River did just that, and as the river cut down through the layers of sandstone, it created a 270° horseshoe-shaped bend in the canyon. Conceivably, at some time far in the future, the river could erode through the narrow neck of rock, creating a natural bridge and abandoning the circular channel around the rock. Maybe in a few million years, this will be the site of a brand new natural bridge formed the same way as nearby Rainbow Bridge National Monument.
