    RIP Mr. Litton

     

    He is best known for the political struggle in the 1960s over damming the Grand Canyon. Dams were one of the major vectors of pork-barrel politics in those days, and the Bureau of Reclamation had large hydroelectric dams planned at two points within the canyon. Together with David Brower, then-director the Sierra Club, and other activists like Edward Abbey, Litton managed a successful political mobilization against the projects.

     

    As an Arizonan and a GC lover I certainly appreciate his efforts
