Colorado River at the Very Beginning of the Grand Canyon Near Page Arizona

Open this image up full screen to see a really cool image of  Page Arizona as it sits aside the Colorado River where the river begins its decent into Marble Canyon and eventually the Grand Canyon. But here the canyon is so narrow you could easily throw a rock across to the other side!

I lensed this image while flying and exploring the wilderness areas around the Escalante Grand Staircase National Monument. If you follow the canyon up from the bottom of this image, you can see Page to the right of the river in the center of this image. 

That deep canyon is literally the beginning of the deepening cut the river makes into the rock to become the mighty Grand Canyon. 

To the top and left is Lake Powell and the Glen Canyon Recreation Area.To the right of the river and lake is Rainbow Plateau and the Wild Horse Mesa on the First Nations Dine (Navajo) Reservation.

This image is from my ongoing project in which I am trying to raise awareness of the 47% of the USA and 90% of Canada that remain unpopulated wilderness.  

Where Eagles Fly - The American Wilderness Expedition is my personal mission to introduce people to these amazing locations that surround us.
