Yellowstone has more than 500 active geysers (more than half of the world’s geysers and the largest collection). Not all geyser eruptions are predictable. Some geysers in the park erupt every few hours, while some erupt irregularly, only a few times a year. For example, the Giantess geyser goes entire years without erupting and when it does can last between 4 to 48 hours! Powell is part of the greater Yellowstone ecosystem and only 90 minutes from the east gate. #EastGateYP #VisitPowell

Four rowboats were shipped to Wyoming in 1869 for John Wesley Powell’s one-thousand-mile journey through the Grand Canyon that lasted 99 days. John Westley Powell and his men completed the journey without life jackets and in wooden boats.

During John Westley Powell’s second river expedition, he had a wooden armchair strapped to his boat, the Emma Dean named after Powell’s wife.

A testament to how difficult rafting the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon is that it took another 80 years for the next 100 people to complete the journey.

John Westley Powell’s adventures were turned into a Disney film in 1960 called Ten Who Dared.

The ten men on the journey included a printer, three mountain men, a possible fugitive & cook, 2 skilled boatsman, a botanist and a soldier that agreed only because he would get a discharge from the army.

At age 21 John Wesley Powell started as an explorer and walked across the state of Wisconsin and rowed the entire Mississippi.

The American Civil War started in 1861 and Powell enlisted in the Union army. In April 1862 at the Battle of Shiloh, Powell was struck in the right arm which was amputated two days later. After he recovered, he returned to the battlefield and served 3 more years.

After the war Powell became a professor at Illinois State Normal University, and soon start expeditions to the west. In 1868 Powell began is first expedition first to explore the Grand Canyon, because 60 years before Fransico Coronado looked over the edge and determined it was impassable, so immigrants stayed away. That section of the map was left blank.

Powell served as director for the U.S. Geological Survey from 1884 to 1894. During this time Powell advocated strict conservation of water resources.
