Photo by Pete McBride @pedromcbride // Today the Colorado River inside the Grand Canyon, one of the most iconic landscapes on earth, was listed as the most endangered river in the United States by @AmericanRivers. A battery of threats on this geological masterpiece, from mining interests to large-scale development plans including a 1.2 mile long tramway to carry 10,000 people a day into the canyon’s heart, pushed this magnificent river canyon to the top of the endangered list.
