1901: A Canyon Odyssey
Lyrics
1901 There beneath the August sun A daring survey undertaken on the fly Colorado would request Divert the river water west For The Uncompahgre Valley was too dry There'd been one attempt before And they needed to know more Than what Bryant saw from base camps on the rim When the challenge whet their thirst Two men planned to be the first To take the canyon floor route cut from deep within There's only one way the water flows Through a passage no one knows Heading down the Canyon Black They could never turn their back Staring down the Barrel of the Gunnison The Journey started as they planned With support from a third man Who hiked the the old trail high above the river's hood
