Dark Canyon begins high on the edge of Elk Ridge (8,800 feet in elevation) and ends at 3,700 feet elevation in the desert environment of upper Lake Powell. The DarkCanyon drainage is primarily administered by the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau ofLand Management. The Forest Service manages the upper end of the canyon as a wilderness area - Dark Canyon Wilderness Area (45,000 acres) - and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) administers the lower end of the canyon as a primitive area - Dark Canyon Primitive Area (62,000 acres). The extreme lower end of Dark Canyon is within the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, administered by the National Park Service.
