This chapter covers the human relation to landscapes, esthetic beauty of views, and the adventures of John Wesley Powell in exploring the Green and Colorado Rivers in 1869. It outlines Powell’s expedition, which started in Green River City, Wyoming and ended at the mouth of the Virgin River in southwestern Utah. The chapter also talks about the expedition led by Lt. Joseph Ives, who visualized the Utah Canyonlands. From 1857–1858, Ives and his crew surveyed the landscape and areas in between Sea of Cortez and Fort Defiance in Colorado.Less
