Image Caption: STS090-751-014 Colorado Plateau, San Juan River, Utah April 1998
The San Juan River can be seen entering the scene at the bottom right and traversing the center of the image, exiting upper left, in this west-northwest-looking view. Over 400 miles (645 km) long, the San Juan River rises in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado and flows generally westward across the Colorado Plateau emptying into Lake Powell on the Colorado River. The river is used extensively for irrigation. Vegetables, fruits, and grains are grown in the river valley. The Colorado Plateau covers an area of 150000 sq. miles (388500 sq. km) in the states of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah. The region consists of broad plateaus, ancient volcanic mountains, and deeply dissected great canyons carved into nearly horizontal and often brightly colored sedimentary and volcanic rocks. The Colorado Plateau is basically semi-arid and is sparsely vegetated, except for the higher mountain ranges and irrigated river valleys. Near the upper left portion of the image, Rainbow Plateau is visible. Just left center of the image is Monument Valley. The Southern portions of the Abajo Mountains are discernible in the upper right portion of the image.
