I'd bet to donuts that smoke was caused by the coal fired generating station in Page. It is a HUGE polluter of the area. It socks in CanyonLands often enough too.
I am certainly not a fan of pollution, and am aware of the large Navajo Generating Station near Page, AZ. In this case there had been a wildfire burning in the Kaibab National Forest for about a week prior to my Grand Canyon visit.
While camping at Wahweep, near Page, I took a photo of Lake Powell which certainly both beautiful and mysterious. However. the lake was formed by damming Glen Canyon which is certainly a type of environmental pollution. The dam does produce considerable electric hydro-generation which reduces air pollution, so I guess we pick our poison when it comes to electricity.
