It’s amazing to me how a body of water surrounded by no vegetation can be so starkly beautiful! Lake Powell is a reservoir bordering Arizona and Utah, and is a boater’s paradise. This majesty of nature in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area is a joy to behold. Wonderful red rock formations and beautiful painted walls separate the deep blue water from the bright blue sky. What fun to stop periodically to jump overboard to cool off! A short hike brought us to Rainbow Bridge, the highlight for any visitor to Powell. Cheryl shared a wonderful Indian legend that makes the bridge come alive. Soon we pull into Dangling Rope Marina – who’da thunk you could get soft served ice cream out in the wilderness! There are an infinite number of places to pull your boat in to camp – and we found a beauty! We were amazed that camping could be so luxurious, with gourmet food to boot! The sunset over the water was spectacular and the night brought an abundance of stars. An overnight on Lake Powell can be enjoyed on the Best of the West, Arizona Spectacular or Utah Canyonlands trips!
