Eighteen months before this photograph was captured, this small waterfall was buried beneath 20 feet of Lake Powell sediment in Davis Gulch in the Escalante Canyons. When the reservoir first topped off in 1983, this small waterfall was 70 feet below the surface of the water. As flash floods poured down from this canyon's headwaters on the Kaiparowits Plateau, the sediment carried in the water settled onto the floor of the reservoir here and eventually accumulated to a depth of 25 feet. As the reservoir level dropped due to a regional drought beginning in the year 2000, this accumulated sediment was washed out of the canyon by flash floods, all the way down to the level of the original streambed, thus revealing this small waterfall.
