About Katie Lee...
Katie Lee is the grande dame of Western singers and environmentalists. She is an author, musicologist, folk singer, storyteller, actress, songwriter, filmmaker, photographer, activist, poet, and river runner. Katie Lee is one of a handful of men and women who knew the 170 miles of Glen Canyon very well. She made sixteen trips down the river, even named some of the side canyons. Glen Canyon and the river than ran through it has changed her life, so it is not surprising that she has never gotten over her horror and disbelief at the destruction of this exquisite Eden drowned under 500 feet of Colorado River water behind Glen Canyon Dam.
Katie Lee's "All My Rivers Are Gone" recounts her years as a river-runner, guide, and explorer in Glen and Grand Canyons. Katie lovingly recreates this singularly beautiful landscape as she tells us what there was to love about Glen Canyon and why we should miss it. Her descriptions of a magnificent desert oasis and its rich archaeological ruins are a paean to paradise lost.
After thirty years of fighting for Glen Canyon, Katie Lee has been joined in her efforts by Glen Canyon Institute and the Sierra Club. Katie Lee is an advisory board member for Glen Canyon Institute. She is very active on this issue, speaking out to audiences around the country about what was lost.
