Asset Overview

This 3D model features the confluence of the Colorado River and the Little Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. A sacred place to Native American tribes like the Navajo and especially Hopi, this area has been under constant threat in recent years by developers wishing to turn the location into a tourist attraction, complete with a gondola to take 8–10k people a day down in the the canyon into an area with a fragile ecosystem, and home to the largest population of endangered Humpback Chub left in the Grand Canyon. Many local leaders and native voices have been raised in support to "Save The Confluence". -Nate Loper
