Antelope Canyon, Arizona - polluted

October 26th, 2006 · No Comments

I love the Colorado Plateau in the Four Corners region of the American Southwest. It’s arguably the best hiking region in the world.

The Navajo Generating Station is a coal-fired powerplant on the doorstep of Page, Arizona. The three 236m chimneys loom over the “most-visited and most-photographed slot canyon in the American Southwest” — Antelope Canyon.

What a shame!

Disclosure — I live in Alberta which is a heavy coal-burning part of the world. But we hide our plants away from tourist sites.
