POWELL TO POWELL Portraits of the Upper Colorado

POWELL TO POWELL Portraits of the Upper Colorado

From June through September 2012 we walked, kayaked, and rafted from Rocky Mountain National Park to Lake Powell along the Colorado River. Along the way we talked to over 30 people involved in the Colorado: farmers, ranchers, water managers, professional rafters, conservationists, and more.

Our journey is told in 5 chapters.
1: “Complicating the Divide” examines transbasin diversions.
2: “Profit and Play” explores recreation.
3: “The Desert Blooms” looks at the booming fracking industry and agriculture.
4: “Confluence” ponders solutions to the Colorado’s myriad problems.
5: “A New Way Downstream” shows our solar-powered voyage across Lake Powell.
