Glen Canyon National Recreation Area
In the area of northern Arizona, where the Colorado River passes through a narrow and deep canyon, a massive Glen Canyon Dam was built . It is located not far from the smaller town Page. The dam was completed here in 1963 and was named after the original canyon, which provided the builders with ideal conditions for the construction of this extensive waterworks.
The dam rises to a respectable height of 213 meters above the original river level. Due to the fact that the flow of the Colorado River was dammed, Lake Powell was created here, which is named after war veteran John Weslley Powell. He was also a well-known explorer of the American Southwest and in 1869 undertook the first scientific expedition on wooden ships. Its goal was to map the flow of the Colorado River in places that had not yet been explored.
The dam reached its maximum filling with water only in 1980, ie after 17 years since its creation. Today, the lake reaches an amazing length of 298 km and the rugged coastline with bays of various sizes measures a total of 3,136 km. The main task of the dam is to regulate the flow of water in the Colorado River, so that spring floods do not occur and a year-round constant supply of water to downstream areas is ensured. The water from Lake Powell is used to irrigate a large area and the energy of the body of water is used to generate electricity. The plant’s 8 generators have a maximum capacity of 1.32 gigawatts, making it a major energy supplier throughout the southwestern United States.
The dam is open to the public and tours are held several times a day. However, it is quite busy during the main tourist season, so it is good to book a tour in advance. The guide will acquaint you with the history and present of the dam and will be happy to answer any inquisitive questions. The tour route also leads to the already mentioned power plant. If you are lucky, you can look up to the crown of the dam itself or inside it.
At a time when the construction of the dam was only in its infancy (1957 – 1959), a metal bridge was built across the gorge, the steel arch of which is 213 meters high. In total, the bridge is 388 meters long and its construction cost $ 5 million. Today, it is the second tallest steel arch bridge in the United States. A Visitor Center was built directly above the dam, where you can study information about the construction of the dam or view an exhibit of a plaster model of the entire area around Lake Powell.
Glen Canyon is accessible via Wighway 89, one of the most important routes connecting Northern Arizona and Southern Utah. Thousands of tourists come here every year to roam Arizona.
