Although not a reality yet, Backpacker Magazine heralds
Glen Canyon as the next great national park. Almost a year after Erik wrote about the
re-emergence of Glen Canyon, the magazine gives us an
updated peek at the amazing natural restoration that is unfolding in southern Utah. This
narrated slideshow vividly illustrates how the
disappearance of Lake Powell is bringing renewed life to over 125 canyons for wildlife to flourish and for hikers to
explore. Learn more about conservation efforts at the Glen Canyon Institute
and read about grassroots efforts to get national
park status for the area.
