1983 to handle the rising lake level caused by f lood waters. Today, Lake
Powell is one of the Southwest's f inest lake recreation areas, yearly
d i scovered by more and more vacationers. The lake and surrounding
area are now inhabited by animal species that were attracted here by the
recently created water habitat within this desert landscape.
Cultural History
Activities
T he first ma1or hu man migration i n to North America
by e1ectnc1ry generated fro m th e flow o f th e rrver, but
from Asia may have taken place fro m 15,000 to 12,000
years ago. In relatively small groups, the se peop le dis·
persed quickly throughout North and South Ame rica
and lived in iso lation for thousands of years. The tribes
in this area , w hich we call Desert Archaic people , were
hunters and gatherers. Their continuing subsistence
needs left little opportunity for development of so-called
higher cultural traits o r fo r po pu lation growth. About
2,000 yea rs ago a majo r cultural change - from ca uses
about which we ca n on lv speculate-transformed th ese
their bankers disagreed. Nex t came th e settlers and.
with them , the indi spe nsable ferrymen .
Anasa zi
The Anasazi , th e notab le
builders here, developed
comp lex stone houses
called pueblos by Span·
ish explorers. Their granaries nestle in sandstone
al coves, and their drawings adorn canyon wall s
in the park. Pottery shards
lie scattered about. Cl imate changes drove out
the agricu ltural Anasazi ,
probable ancestors of
today's Hopi Indians, by
about 1300.
Settlement . Although the Colorado River is accessible
near the m out h of the Paria , as Domingu ez and
Esca lante d iscovered, it can not be easi ly crossed .
Joh n D. Lee was sent there by the Ch urch of Jesus
Christ of the Latter·day Sai nts. or Mo rm on Church . to
bu il d and opera te a fe rry. H e built the Lone ly De ll
Ranch for Emm a Lee, his 17th w ife . and by 1873 had
built a fe rryboat named the Colorado. He was executed
in 1877 for his part in the Mountai11 Mea dows Massacre,
the attack by Mormons and Paiutes on sett lers bou nd
for Californ ia. The Mo rmon Chu rch eventually bo ught
the e nter pri se from Emma. The f<Hry ran continuously
until 1928. It was replaced by the Navajo Bridge
completed across Marble Canyon in 1929.

Water sports dominate recreational activities at Glen
Canyon National Recreation Area. Concessioners otter
boat tours that last from an hour to all day and provide
boat rentals at developed areas. Houseboats provide
comfort at a relaxed pace, as wel l as a chance to
sightsee beyond developed areas. Sailing is best at
Wahweap, Padre, and Bullfrog Bays. Canoes and kayaks
provide access to secluded areas in small canyons.

Exploration. In 1776, two Span ish priests began an
expedition that provided the first written record of Glen
Canyon. Father Escalante, Father Domi nguez, and thei r
party set o ut from Santa Fe in July to pioneer an overland route to a military garrison o n the California coast.
After three mo nths, having bypassed the canyon coun·
try, the party reached the Grea t Basin in Uta h, w here
they decided to turn back before the onset of winter.
On October 26, the party reached the Colo ra do Rive r
at the mouth of the Paria River. Whe n crossing there
proved nearl y disastro us, the explorers clim bed out of
the river bottom and made camp nea r today's Wahweap
Marina. They spent four more days searching for a way
across the river. Fin ally, o n Novem ber 7, they chopped
steps in t he sa ndstone wall at Padre Creek and safely
led their pack stock to the banks of the Colorado. Here
the crossing was wide , but shallow. The Crossing of the
Fathers today lies beneath the waters of Padre Bay.
Another journey of discovery began nearly 100 years
after the Dominguez-Esca lante expedition. Major John
Wesley Powell, a one-armed Civi l War veteran , set out
to learn about the pote ntial for reclamation of these
western lands. In May 1869, Powe ll and his crew of
nine men left Green River, Wyoming, to follow the
fabled Colorado. On July 28, they entered Glen Canyon and found Its waters calm , compared with the rap·
Ids of Cataract Canyon. Their trip eventually took them
through the Grand Canyon and on to the mouth of the
Virgin River in Nevada.

the Colorado at Halls Crossing u ntil Cass Hi te fo und
and developed another crossing that was still more
accessible. The ferry and the town of Hite remain ed
active until they were flooded by the risin g waters of
Lake Powell. Cass Hite also found go ld in the river's
sands, and prospectors searched the canyo ns and sur·
rounding platea us fo r riches. The gold was generally
too fi ne to be mined commercially. however, so few
miners profited from their efforts.
There is excellent camping on flat sites along the
lakeshore. You can ~upplement your water sports
with a hike in desert side canyons on trails of your
own choosi ng . Please exercise reasonable caution
(see Regu lations).
Backcountry hiking in the canyon country requires
planning and stamina (see Regulations). However, the
rewards ca n far outweigh the efforts of preparation and
the exertion of the experience itself.

Downriver from Glen Canyon Dam , Lees Ferry li es in
the break between G!en and Marb!e Canyons. A
natural corridor between Utah and Arizona. Lees Ferry
figured prominently in the exploration and settlement
of the surrou nding canyon cou ntry. Because o f Navajo
unrest , a stone fort and trad ing post were bui lt in
1874. Wa rren Johnson and his son ran the ferry from
1873 t o 1896 for the Mormon Church. The post offi ce
estab lished here about 191 3 was a focal point lor
far-flung miners working the canyon country. Remains
of the post office and fort pe rsist. Just up the Paria
Vall ey are the Lonely De ll Ranch buildings, an orchard ,
and a cemetery. The upriver ferry crossing and the
Spe ncer steamboat are sti ll visible.

through scenic Narrow Canyon. The National Park
Service today provides a ranger station and a primitive
campground at Hite.
The concessione r provides boat rental s, store, service

An Arizona fishing license is required from Wahweap
downstream to Lees Ferry. A Utah license is required
uplake from Wahweap. Each state also sells a stamp to
extend a license into the other state. Licenses are
available at marinas and nearby communities. A few
native fish have adjusted to the cold, rela tively clear
waters of Lake Powell, and other game species have
been introduced. A few species, including the flannel mouth sucker, humpback chub , and Colorado River
squawfish , are protected. Their remova l from the lake
is illegal. Some harbors may be closed to fishing. Ask a
ranger about these before you fish.
