The Rincon, Lake Powell, Utah
View Original Description
The Rincon is an entrenched and abandoned meander, or loop, of the Colorado River. Scientists believe it formed several thousand years ago when the river cut straight across the ends of the loop and shortened its course by six miles. The resulting canyon and 600 to 750 feet-high central mesa indicate where the river used to flow.
