What is Lake Powell? Lake Powell is what legends are made of - in a land of mystery and natural beauty. History tells us

that in 1869 while navigating the 200 miles between Cataract Canyon and Lees Ferry, Major John Wesley Powell named the

area "Glen Canyon. Spurred by Indian reports in 1909 of a "rainbow turned to stone", teams of scholars led by Indians

discovered Rainbow Bridge. By its wondrous size, to say nothing of its majesty and mystery, Rainbow Bridge has inspired

humans throughout time. From the time the bridge became known to the outside world in the early 20th century, thousands of

people from around the world have visited each year. From its base to the top of the arch, it is 290 feet-nearly the height of

the Statue of Liberty-and spans 275 feet across the river; the top of the arch is 42 feet thick and 33 feet wide.

Tucked among the rugged, isolated canyons at the base of Navajo Mountain, Rainbow Bridge was known for centuries by

the Native Americans who lived in the area. Native Americans living in the region have long held the bridge sacred. Ancestral

Puebloan residents were followed much later by Paiute and Navajo groups. Several Paiute and Navajo families, in fact, still

reside nearby.
