RAGING WATERS

We had a lot of rain, day after day. It melted the snow higher up and filled the rivers here in the St George area.
This is the Santa Clara River. The water is nearly as high as the bridge. The two backhoes are pulling large trees and logs out of the river to keep them from blocking the flow of the water.

Up stream you can see that the road across the river has been washed out.

These rock dykes were built in 2005 to help contain the flood waters.
They definitely helped to control the course of the water.

Where there is water, there will also be water falls.
This one we found in the Kayenta area. So pretty.
