"visible current; sand bars common.
It was at its best at high water
and must be even less attractive
as the lake level falls, Possibly
it will become more attractive
after Bridge Canyon Dam is built
and only clear water enters
upper end of Lake Mead. The
unattractive end of Lake Mead
will then be shifted to the upper
end of Bridge Canyon reservoir,
from Havasu Canyon to Kanab Cany.
For a few years, unless Glen Canyon
Dam is built, the reservoir
as seen from Toroweap Point may
resemble that now seen at Quarter
master Canyon. If Glen Canyon
Dam is built, perhaps the muddy
& undesirable features will be
transferred to it, with resulting
improvement in Grand Canyon park
and monument.
The Canyon scenery at Quartermaster,
exclusive of Lake Mead, is impressive.
Burnt Springs Canyon opens to the
north, opposite mouth of Quartermast,
and runs back to base of Twin
Point on Shivwits Plateau. Good
spot for campgrounds.
We drove down past Duncan Pond.
