- Coyote Creek
- At one time, the Escalante River in southeastern Utah flowed through Navajo
Sandstone and into the Colorado River. Today, the river flows into an arm of
Lake Powell, the reservoir behind Glen Canyon Dam.
- Navajo Sandstone is one of the finest media any artist ever worked, and the
small side creeks of rivers such as the Escalante and Colorado were the
artists. And Glen Canyon Dam has destroyed much of this art. Many of the
scenes on this track, which were photographed in May of 1964, no
longer exist.
- Coyote Creek, which has cut Coyote Gulch, was well upstream on the Escalante,
and all but the mouth of the gulch has escaped inundation.
