As Lake Powell falls, artists in Moab explore the rise of Glen Canyon
What goes up must come down — perhaps even for things as massive as Lake Powell. That’s the topic of the Glen Canyon Institute’s March 15 event, “Glen Canyon Rises.” Featuring artists, musicians and writers, the event celebrates the re-emergence of the legendary canyon as the water table keeps dropping in the massive reservoir shrouding the canyon, Lake Powell. The Moab Times-Independent spoke with two of the event’s participants, writer (and former Salt Lake Tribune reporter) Zak Podmore and photographer Dawn Kish, about their work to document the return of the southern Utah canyon sometimes called America’s lost national park.
