Glen Canyon - Resurrection of a World Wonder

Season 1 Episode 106

Before it was flooded in 1963 with the construction of the dam, Glen Canyon had one of the highest concentrations of archaeological sites and was said to be more beautiful than the Grand Canyon. Now, prolonged drought and low water levels on Lake Powel are reviving this treasure from its watery grave. Come see what happens as a canyon and river return after a half century underwater.
