| Western USA beneath vertical stabilizer: The Colorado River snakes across this view from top left (near the Space Shuttle stabiliser), to the lower right, where the Grand canyon gorge can be detetced. The wider blue parts of the Colorado in the center of the view are Lake Powell, an artificial lake more than 120 miles long. The dark green areas are wooded slopes generally above ~6000 feet-the Kaibab Plateau (lower left) and the range with Abajo Peak (11,360 feet, Utah-Colorado border region) cross the top of the view. The red areas are lower and semiarid, dominated by desert scrub vegetation. |
