Just read in the paper that they are planning to flush out sediment which has collected in the Grand Canyon in the near future. Water will be released from here to allow the flush which is done every ten years or so.
Encompassing over 1.2 million acres, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (NRA) offers unparalleled opportunities for water-based & backcountry recreation. The recreation area stretches for hundreds of miles from Lees Ferry in Arizona to the Orange Cliffs of southern Utah, encompassing scenic vistas, geologic wonders, and a vast panorama of human history.
