Long live Wild and Scenic Rivers

Leslie Scopes Anderson | Southern Utah

There is still a long un-dammed portion of the Colorado River flowing through Utah. In 1983, when a river was running down Main Street in Salt Lake City because of heavy rains and sudden snow melt, I ran Cataract Canyon during the highest water in 100 years! The river’s average high is 60,000 cfs, but this year it was at 116,000! A way thrilling ride for all who experienced it! Long live wild & scenic rivers!!
