		The Verdon canyon was a real "natural" for primitive man, proven partially by the hundreds of 400,000-year-old artifacts unearthed in the Grotte de la Baume Bonne at the village of Quinson (in the Gorges du Verdon, a few km west of Lac de Ste Croix).
		The source of the Verdon river is at about 2500 m altitude, between the Col de la Sestrière and the Pas du Mélèze, 3 km northwest of La Foux d'Allos and 11 km northwest of Allos [ map C4 ].
		Along this part of the river, the valley is still wide enough for the road to follow along at about the level of the river, past the Pont-de-Soleils (photo, left), through the Clue de Carejuan and into the gorge.

	Pays du Verdon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Verdon, on the southern border of the Alpes de Haute-Provence, is a magical river.
		Several million years ago, this river scoured its way through several hundred metres of limestone to form the famous gorges, carrying along vast quantities of alluviums, which as they were deposited gradually formed the vast Valensole plateau to the west.
		The river flows from the alpine foothills of Sain- André-les-Alpes to the Provençal valley of Gréoux-les-Bains.

		For fuller details both recommended a kayaking guide to the river written by a local man. When we enquired about this publication at the central village along the crest of the canyon the first responses we obtained were - 'never heard of it'.
		The river is dam controlled so another important matter to resolve was the flow of water - we did not want to find ourselves halfway down the canyon just as the tap at the dam was turned off completely (or the opposite).
		The river level was very low as the dam release had fallen to the overnight minimum and the 6am release had not yet reached our part of the river.

	Habitat Changes in the Upper Mississippi River Floodplain
		The river was first modified by removing snags and then sandbars, with changes progressing to rock excavation, elimination of rapids, closing of side channels, and the construction of hundreds of wing dams, 27 navigation dams, and hundreds of kilometers of levees.
		Most of the changes to the river ecosystem were either designed for navigational improvements or to control the movement of river water.
		In areas of the UMR unaffected by navigation dams (the 40-mi stretch of river near Cape Girardeau), there was a 28% reduction in open water and a 38% reduction in woody and terrestrial habitat between 1891 and 1989 (Figs.

	Verdon canyon
		Verdon river sources from the French side of the Alps and follows, approximately, NE - SW direction until it reaches Durance river and finally Mediterranean sea.
		Verdon canyon is about thirty kilometres long and is sided for most of its length by two scenic roads, one on each side, that are on top of the plateau and have a lot of places where it is possible to stop and have beautiful sight of the deep abyss below.
		Anyway, it is really a kind place, not only for the Verdon river, whoso color here is really emerald green (keep in mind that in French Verdon sounds similar to green), but also for the huge clifs that mark the entrance of Ransom corridor not far from here.

		In 1997, the area within and surrounding the Gorges du Verdon, rich in geological artifacts, rare plants and wildlife diversity, was designated as the Parc Naturel Régional du Verdon.
		Covering about 1800km2 around the Verdon River, the park includes 66 towns and villages, and links with the neighboring parks of the Luberon, the Mercantour, and the Alpes de Haute Provence Geological Preserve.

		The guidebook is actually fairly accurate in it's description but judging distances in the canyon is very difficult due to the fact that you can often only see a few metres to the next bend, even when on the bank (the sign is also correctly placed, but fails to indicate the length of the rapid).
		That's not strictly true, the river does go underground but the rapid is actually the lead in and is out in the open (just).
		The river sweeps right and down some faster water to the right of the beach - you cannot see what lies at the bottom of the chute from here, so land at the top of the beach in against the undercut and go take a look.

		Unfortunately, I found upon my arrival that the Verdon was running too low for most adventurous undertakings - there was a drought in the area, and the local dam hadn't been opened in several weeks.
