Title: Lake Powell, Colorado River, Utah and Grand Canyon, Arizona
Description:
In this stark desert scene, Lake Powell, the Colorado River and the Grand 
Canyon (36.5N, 111.5W) provide the only relief and source of water.  The 
creation of Lake Powell by the building of the Glen Canyon High Dam led 
directly to the establishment of a National Recreation Area surrounding the  
lakes.  To the south, following the course of the Colorado River, the NE 
corner of Grand Canyon can be seen.
