Hello Jon >> It's a photo of a part of the San Juan River in Utah. It shows the river with wide, sweeping meander, including one in which the upstream and downstream curves nearly meet and there's an enormous peninsula with a very narrow neck. A perfect meander — except that the riverbed is a canyon that looks to be a couple of hundred feet deep, meanders and all. << Oh boy pictures tell a story. I'll take your word for it but still gotta see it. I can see some cutting occuring but it takes a rare set of circumstances for a canyon to get cut , and I guess I just haven't seen any. All the vertical wall canyons so far would fit back together perfectly if the two sides were somehow moved back together. What is the book again that has that picture? Kamron
