1; Lake Powell Area, Glen Canyon NAR; 127 photos; Hieroglyphs of the Earth; Glen Canyon National Recreational Area. More than 1.25 million acres of incredibly diverse and beautiful land and 650 million years of the Earth's history. Lake Powell - the heart of Glen Canyon is 186 miles long and has 1,960 miles of shoreline - longer than the entire west coast of the continental United States. Lake was formed by Glen Canyon Dam and named in honor of Civil War veteran and explorer John Wesley Powell. There are 96 major canyons to explore and countless smaller tributaries. The entire area presents an unlimited potential for a landscape photographer. There are almost no roads along the shores of the Lake Powell, and the large areas of this incredible labyrinth are accessible only by air. I have organized several lend, water and aerial photo-expeditions to the area over last 12 years and have built an ultimate knowledge of its main geological features, preferable light, photogenic altitude and angles. This gallery is the result of my exploration. Enjoy!
