Kayaking on Lake Powell near Cottonwood Canyon with water level 140 feet below full-pool elevation due to an extended drought which began in 1999. At this level, the reservoir has lost nearly 70% of its total water volume. The reservoir's white 'bathtub ring' can be seen on the canyon wall in the background. Photo Date: April 24, 2005
