I’m not posting pictures here to start a whole controversy on whether dams are good for the environment. Most of the time, they are not, and we all know that (or should).
I’m here to post a couple pictures of Glen Canyon Dam because thanks to the damn, we have a pretty cool lake to look at and enjoy –Lake Powell. Now, that means it has to retain the water from the Colorado River, and that’s probably causing environmental issues.
Glen Canyon Dam is part of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and is located right next to Page, AZ. It’s part of the same “park” as Horseshoe Bend, which I have posted pictures of recently.
