Sommario/riassunto

After more than 50 years of plans to dam the Green River, it finally happened in 1963 as part of the Colorado River Storage Project.Today many people enjoy boating and fishing on the resultant Flaming Gorge Reservoir, but few know about what lies under the water.Compared to Glen Canyon, Flaming Gorge has received little attention.
