Lake Canyon, Glen Canyon, Utah. Hiking along a recently-exposed section of Lake Canyon at a location 50 feet below the high-water mark of Lake Powell. Many miles of narrow canyons along Glen Canyon have emerged from the waters of the reservoir as a result of a 6-year drought which finally showed signs of relenting last year. This area along Lake Canyon has been flushed out and is quickly being reclaimed by native and non-native vegetation. With increasing demands on the Colorado River, it will take many, many years of above-average snowfall to fill Lake Powell to its normal elevation of 3700 feet above sea level.
