FILE - In this Sept. 9, 2011 file photo visitors view the dramatic bend in the Colorado River at the popular Horseshoe Bend in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, in Page, Ariz.

So when we say that our numbers dropped off the face of the earth, they really did.” (AP Photo/Ross D. Franklin, File)
