We flooded this network of canyons in the 60's to make way for Lake Powell, and it's been one of our great ecological blunders. With severe drought, the reservoir is drying up. With the bad news comes some hope, the canyons that have been submerged and buried in mud and silt are starting to come back. So I head to the desert of Utah with a buddy to explore these haunted canyons by packraft and on foot over a six day adventure.

In this video, we explore the lost world of Glen Canyon — the "national park" that never officially was — and the controversial history behind Lake Powell. From soaring sandstone cathedrals to hidden side canyons now buried underwater, a decision made decades ago changed the American Southwest forever. 🔔 If you care about wild places, public lands, and forgotten history, make sure to like, subscribe, and share. #LakePowell #GlenCanyon #PublicLands #EnvironmentalHistory #Conservation #NationalParks #RestoreGlenCanyon
