  • What a Gully
    ~~GOLLY9 WHAT A GULLY / History does not record the words spoken by Don Garcia Lopez de Cardenas, proud captain of Castile, that memorable day in 1540 when he and his companions looked into the Grand Canyon, the first Europeans to do so. In all probability those words were strong, soldierly expletives, although a footsore scribe, of a poetical bent, recorded for posterity and prying eyes in Spain that the buttes and towers of the Canyon which "appeared from above to be the height of a man were higher than the tower of the Cathedral of Seville." An apt description, my capitan! The gentle Father Garces came along in 1776 and was quite .impressed by the canyon, giving it the name of "Puerto de Bucareli" in honor of a great Viceroy of Spain. James 0. Pattie, trapper and mountain man, arrived at the canyon in 1826, the first American tourist to visit there. Unfortunately there were no comfortable Fred Harvey accommoda­ tions awaiting him and he was pretty disgusted .with the whole thing . "Horrid mountains ," he wrote . Lt . Joseph Ives , an explorer, came to the "Big Canyon" in 1857 and "paused in wondering delight" but found the region "altogether valueless. Ours has been the first and will doubtless be the last party of whites to visit this profitless locality ," was his studied opinion. But the lieutenant's feet probably were hurting him and he should be forgiven his hasty words . John Wesley Powell, twelve years later, arrived at the canyon the exc1tmg way - by boat down the Colorado. To him it was the "Grand" Canyon and so to all the world it has been ever since.

    Water Trail 1 Lake Mead National Recreation Area—Black Canyon National Water Trail The 26-mile long Black Canyon Water Trail is located along a rugged and remote portions of the Colorado River in Nevada and Arizona within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. The trail begins at the base of the Hoover Dam and meanders through Black Canyon along 26 miles of the Colorado River. The trail ends at Eldorado Canyon, a historic mining area on Lake Mohave. This spectacular river setting provides unique paddling and rafting opportunities alongside wilderness. Visitors can stop at sandy beach- Kayaking is Very Popular es, colorful caves, plentiful coves and active hot springs. Desert Bighorn Sheep and other wildlife such as bald eagles, peregrine fal- cons, red-tailed hawks, osprey, cormorants and waterfowl are often seen along the route. There is a great deal of history associated Desert Bighorn Sheep with the Hoover Dam including the sauna cave, gauging sta- tions, catwalks, trails and building foundations. The National Water Trail System establishes in 2002, is a na- tional network of water trails cooperatively supported and sus- tained for the public to explore and enjoy. Designated water trails incorporate recreation opportunities, education about the value of the resource, conservation, community support, public information, and trail maintenance and planning. There are 16 within the National Water Trails System. Black Canyon Water Trail is the first water trail in the Southwest and the only water trail that traverses through a desert.

    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY EVALUATION OF SHORELINES ALONG LAKE MOHAVE, LAKE MEAD NATIONAL RECREATION AREA, NEVADA AND ARIZONA by Jeremiah B. Workman1 Open-File Report 96-651 Prepared in cooperation with the National Park Service This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards and stratigraphic nomenclature 'Box 25046 Federal Center, Denver, Colorado 80225 Denver, Colorado 1996 EVALUATION OF SHORELINES ALONG LAKE MOHAVE, LAKE MEAD NATIONAL RECREATION AREA, NEVADA AND ARIZONA by Jeremiah B. Workman Abstract A photogeologic study of the shorelines of Lake Mohave was done in order to assess the carrying capacity of camping beaches used by recreational boaters in the Lake Mead National recreation area. Shorelines along the lake were examined, analyzed, and classified into five categories based on physical parameters that dictate the overall shoreline quality and suitability in regard to recreational use. A digital l:100,000-scale map presents the five shoreline categories coded by color: (1) steep or rocky shoreline, (2) beach, (3) camping beach, (4) steep shoreline with cliffs, and (5) shallow shoreline. Introduction The U.S. Geological Survey in 1995 began working with the National Park Service under a new program called "Geology-in-the-Parks". The purpose of this program is to provide practical geological data to the Park Service in order to aid management of park land and its resources, and to assist the Park Service in interpreting the geology for the public. The Lake Mead National Recreation Area was selected for the shoreline studies because: (1) the USGS has considerable expertise in the geology of the region, and (2) Lake Mead is currently the fourth most visited park in the National Park system.

PHOENIX, AZ Surge Tank A8 .4 A9 Replacement 500 -MW Underground Powerhouse 500 - MW Surface Powerhouse • Aerial photograph of the location of the proposed alternatives for the Hoover Powerplant Modification Project, Hoover Dam and Powerplant, Arizona-Nevada. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR BUREAU OF RECLAMATION LOWER COLORADO REGION DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT HOOVER POWERPLANT MODIFICATION - CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA MOHAVE COUNTY, ARIZONA ABSTRACT The Bureau of Reclamation proposes to increase the generating capacity of the Hoover Dam and Powerplant by installing additional generators. The powerplant would be increased by either 260 or 500 megawatts for a total plant capacity of 2,060 or 2,300 megawatts. The environmental impacts associated with the proposed project are primarily due to increases in water velocity, which could reduce algae production, and increases in the weekly water level fluctuations on Lake Mohave, which could reduce the fishery. No endangered or threatened species would be jeopardized. There will be no cumulative or synergistic effects to the Colorado River Basin. This environmental impact statement is intended to serve environmental review and consultation requirement pursuant to: Executive Order 11988 (Floodplain Management) Executive Order 11990 (Wetlands Protection) Clean Water Act of 1977 (Section 404 r) Rivers and Habors Act of 1899 (Section 10) For Further Information Contact: Mr. Gary L.
