Thanks for the great shots. Extra points for no music & natural sounds!

Chapeau, sir. You've certainly put in some mileage to bring this to us! Another fine video. Beautiful scenery. Very relaxing with the water gurgling in the background. I could watch these scenes for an hour at a time. It's interesting to see how healthy the flow of the Green River at Green River UT is despite the outflow at Flaming Gorge dam being throttled to one quarter of the average for this time of year. They are banking serious amounts of water and that reservoir is now over 78% of Full Pool and up nearly 16 feet since March. Flaming Gorge is massive and has a capacity roughly 15% of Lake Powell's and, no doubt, will be called upon for more emergency releases in the next couple of years. Keep up the good work.

This is great to see where all the water comes from and the tour of the cliffs was a real treat.

Coming from Cleveland Ohio back when Powell was formed, I rented a small houseboat for my family. Those kids are now in there mid 50’s. Great memories. Your presentation was excellent. Thanks

My late wife and I honeymooned on Lake Powell in 1993; sailing out on the Lake and admiring the construction effort which went into Glen Canyon Dam. in 2019 it was a surprise to see how far the lake level had fallen. A visit to Hoover Dam showed, in even sharper relief, how the Southwestern states are drawing more water the the reservoir system can supply. One year's excess rain does not make up for decades of over-demand. The pictures of Lake Mead at full-pool in the early 1980s (using the spillways) is now just a fond memory from four decades ago.

Nice work

You make great vids. Beautiful and informative. Love it!

Thanks for your videos. Being from Germany i know the area well, since i do stop by every year at least once - starting around 1985. I did not recall the rivers transporting these cfs values for a long time. I also remember Lake Powell at full pool and the city of Page with less than a handful of Motels. And no espresso being available anywhere. Anyway, i do enjoy your content big time. Not focusing on music and other Glitter but just the basic facts. Of cause the nature around you simplifies your job but still you could try to add those distractions. Again, thanks a lot for your efforts and energy to let people know.

I need to get back that way, Swasey beach is an eddy! Great to see Fisher towers too, thx!

AWESOME CONTENT! Thanks so much for showing the current flows of tributaries into Lake Powell! So many of the other "videos" that are supposed to be informative still paint of picture of desolation when providing "up-to-date" visualization of that area of our country, only to prove how cheap and lazy they are in their production! But what you've shown is that we have an abundance (Thank God!) of hydro resources replenishing the Lake. Stunning indeed!!!

You put this together real nice …. Thank you for your passion.
