Postcard AZ: Glen Canyon Dam Near Completion, Page, Arizona For Sale

Description: View of Glen Canyon Dam taken from the downstream side near the time of its completion, looking up into the dramatic red rock canyon walls of the Colorado River gorge near Page, Arizona. The massive concrete arch dam face is visible along with the Glen Canyon Bridge spanning the canyon above, and a figure stands in the foreground on the rocky overlook. The Colorado River, still flowing through a diversion tunnel, would soon be impounded to form Lake Powell, which was projected to be 186 miles long with 1,800 miles of shoreline.
