The Grand Dame of Dam Busting

May 5, 2013 By: Erin Block

Fondly called “The Grand Dame of Dam Busting,” Katie Lee is a passionate advocate for Glen Canyon, leading the charge against the Glen Canyon dam and Lake Powell for over 50 years. “You better get off your butts and get out and protect what you love,” she says, “because if you don’t make a noise, people won’t know what’s there, and if you make too much noise you’ll ruin it too.” Lee was featured in the documentary “DamNation,” and was recently profiled on Patagonia’s The Cleanest Line.
