RE: Morning views at Alstrom Point (6 pics)

Oh. That is gorgeous, simply gorgeous.

Can you see the Colorado River Silt yet at Alstrom Point? Do you know how much further up river you need to go before the silt becomes visible? I haven't been there in a few years, and with the CV I'm not going to make it this year, either.

At any rate, I just love the Grand Escalante in general and the very south of it in particular.

Thanks. I really needed that.

Alstrom is pretty far down lake not even close to half way up

Yeah. I'm aware, but I'm also really worried for Lake Powell and Glen Canyon Dam. One million cubic yards of silt enter the lake every year. My math (and only mine-nothing official) says 2055 could be tip over year. Particularly with the lower than expected river flow. It really is time for me to go check on both sides of the river....
