Glen Canyon Betrayed: A Sensuous Elegy


Overview

Katie Lee's book, Glen Canyon Betrayed, should be read by all wilderness lovers. It beautifully invokes what it is like to have the freedom to explore one's deepest values within the intimacy of nature's rapture. Sadly, this freedom is increasingly diminished by the commercial clutter of a river that is increasingly being managed as a theme park for the wealthy. Katie's works are paeans to the wild, sacred heart of a paradise lost. For more than a decade, she regularly ran Glen Canyon before it was buried under trillions of tons of water in 1962. Her book recreates the beauty of the Glen, describes the characters that lived there, and tells how it changed her life.

Reviews

The only important element missing from this book is the sound of Katie Lee's voice singing her superb songs that tell us where she has come from--right out of the Colorado River itself. Read this book and learn what we have lost in the drowning of Glen Canyon; read this book and be inspired toi fight for its restoration. -- David R. Brower Sierra Club
