Description:
Plate 865X. Upper Three Lakes 1938 – 2005 Viewed north to the upper most of the Three Lakes above Kanab, Utah. U.S. Highway 89 is on the right and has been realigned from where it was in 1938. That construction damaged the original camera station. Cottonwoods have increased, while willows appear unchanged - - except where overtopped by cottonwoods. Pinyon, juniper, and sagebrush have increased in the distance.
