Clouds over Bear River, Great Salt Lake
Bear River ends at the beginning of the auto tour at the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge. From that point on, it becomes a network of canals controlled by need, no longer flowing freely as it would prefer. The gentleness of that morning, with pelicans floating in the distance, soothed my soul, even though I felt a twinge of sadness knowing the river was being managed instead of flowing out to Great Salt Lake as it should. The building of the refuge began around 1928, which included creating infrastructure to stabilize and manage water levels in the marsh to maintain ideal conditions for migrating birds. Earthworks such as dams, canals, and nearly 40 miles of earthen dikes help sustain healthy waterways. Increasing droughts and water diversion threaten this system and require innovative solutions. (From placards in the Bear River Bird Refuge Visitor Center.)
