| Looking upstream, about a mile below Ticaboo Canyon. The canyon walls are already characteristic of Glen. And uncharacteristic of anywhere else. |

We are
currently greatly expanding the Glen Canyon photography on our Web sites.
Using the vast resources of the University of California at Berkeley's
libraries, we made many expeditions to explore Glen Canyon during the early
1960's. We are scanning many of the thousands of photos we took and are
working on a digital video version of the Sierra Club movie we made from
these pictures. We are also preparing many for the Web.

| Boating Glen is, above all, drifting lazily
past overpowering walls. Walls of sculpted and decorated sandstone.
There are also sand bars and sand islands covered with willow and tamarisk (despised by BuRec as a water gulper and called "salt cedar"; loved by the boaters for its purple flowers in spring and its dense stems that give privacy when camping). |
