Water from lake is held back by Glen Canyon Dam making for a large recreational area in Arizona and Utah.
Just read in the paper that they are planning to flush out sediment which has collected in the Grand Canyon in the near future. Water will be released from here to allow the flush which is done every ten years or so.

Klaus Girk has been a member since 10 November 2007 and goes by Fred.
Currently in Westminster, CO.
I am retired but do a lot of volunteer work for Eldorado Canyon State Park and the Birds of Prey Foundation here in Colorado. I enjoy fishing, photography, reading and visiting with old friends as well as making new ones. I also enjoy pyrography which is the art of woodburning. With this I make images of animals and people and sometimes add a small battery operated clock.
