Q5. What’s in the difference between a Canyon and Gorge? Regardless, which holds a special place in your memories? Why? #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A5: I would love to raft the Colorado through the Grand Canyon. My grandparents did it in a little motor boat before Lake Powell was formed. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @CanyonlandsNPS There are some great pictures of that trip, and of political cartoons that ran afterward. Think I saw them in the new bio of Udall. #ParkChat

A5 I learned that a canyon is wider than deep, and a gorge is deeper than wide - my home state has the Genesee Gorge, which is nicknamed the Grand Canyon of the East, so I don't quite know how to answer the 2nd part of the question #parkchat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A5 All though we've been to multiple canyons and gorges, my all time fave is the Flume Gorge in New Hampshire. Was just such a wonderful little hike. #ParkChat

A5 Although not a national park, Watkins Glen State Park's gorge will always have a special place in my memory. Gorges are better. 🤪 #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @WildWithinHer @CanyonlandsNPS Nearly every conversation I have with @WildWithinHer ends with me adding another book/research topic to my to-do list and it makes me so happy! Will have to add this Udall's trip to my to-do list as well. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A4. I would like to see the rivers that are the least changed by man. Since I can't go back in time, that's the best I can do. #parkchat.

Q6 #ParkChat We have “3,200 free-flowing river segments in the United States that are believed to possess one or more "outstandingly remarkable" natural or cultural values judged to be at least regionally significant”. Why is this important? We can we do to keep rivers flowing?

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute #parkchat A5 I'd guess a canyon is longer and a gorge is deeper? @CanyonlandsNPS was an incredible stop for us, even after seeing @GrandCanyonNPS on the same trip!

A6. In short, because so many waterways are dammed. Even today, less than ¼ of 1% of America's river are designated Wild & Scenic. I think it's something like 12,000 miles total. #ParkChat
