| Cathedral In The Desert |
In 2005 I explored a beautiful grotto
at Lake Powell, a place called Cathedral In the Desert. The Cathedral
has become an icon, a symbol of everything lost when Lake Powell's
waters inundated Glen Canyon.
A multi-year drought dropped the lake
to a low level and the large waterfall in the Cathedral was fully
exposed. Many people boated into the canyon to see the wondrous site.
Some people hoped the drought would continue and the lake would dry
up.
But the lake level has risen in recent
years and there is now 10 feet of water over the top of the main
waterfall. People can boat right over it, to a second smaller
waterfall at the back of the canyon.
Last week DWR Lake Powell Project
Leader Wayne Gustaveson boated into the Cathedral and caught some
nice fish. See more
about his report.
I'd love to get down there and see the
second waterfall. It was not accessible when I made the trip in 2006.
