    16 - Canyons of the Colorado by John Wesley Powell
    Sep 2 2025
    Join us as we delve into the remarkable journey of John Wesley Powell, a trailblazing American explorer, ethnologist, and geologist of the 19th century. In 1869, Powell embarked on an adventurous expedition to uncover the mysteries of the Colorado and Grand Canyon. With a crew of nine men, four boats, and provisions for ten months, they set sail from Green River, Wyoming, on May 24. Navigating through treacherous rapids, the team journeyed down the Green River until they reached its confluence with the Colorado River, near what is now Moab, Utah. Powells vivid diary entries paint a breathtaking picture of the wondrous landscapes they encountered‚towering carved walls, majestic arches, serene glens, and striking alcove gulches. It was during this expedition that they named one of these stunning features Glen Canyon, a name that now ironically refers to an area submerged by Lake Powell behind the Glen Canyon Dam. As the expedition progressed, challenges arose, leading to the departure of several crew members, with some facing dire consequences later on. Powells second expedition in 1871-1872 further expanded our understanding of this majestic region, yielding photographs, accurate maps, and significant ethnographic insights into the areas Native American cultures.
