In this episode of Walk in the Park (#37), we return to the Grand Canyon (last week we walked across it! http://ithacafingerlakes.com/2013/02/01/walk-across-grand-canyon/), to consider its larger Colorado River watershed, and then compare it to the Finger Lakes and their gorges and their place in the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River basin. Then we take a brief look at ravens, including those at the Grand Canyon; and the legacy and threat of uranium mining in and around the canyon. See my blog post about ravens at http://ithacafingerlakes.com/2013/02/03/go-ravens/.
