Lake Powell

















We left Kanab, Utah we went on to Page, Arizona. It's another beautiful drive and goes along the Vermillion Cliffs. We stayed at a campground right on Lake Powell. Its in the Glen Canyon National Recreation area. Lake Powell is formed by the Glen Canyon Dam which dams up the Colorado River before it enters the Grand Canyon area. The lake is huge with lots of slot canyons you can duck into and explore. We would have liked to stay and play there but the campground was expensive and very busy. We could only stay two nights so we didn't get a chance to launch the boat and explore the waters.


You can take a nice raft trip from the bottom of the dam to Lee's Ferry which is mile 0 of the famous Grand Canyon raft trips. This raft trip is on slower, calmer waters so you don't get wet or have to worry about rapids. The picture of the water that I took was from close to where we were camped.


We went to Williams, Arizona next which is on the famous Route 66. We spent time there and went to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon and from there we spent time in Kingman, Az and now are in Brenda, Arizona which is a little east of Quartzite. It's hot! in the 100's during the day and 80's at night but they say it has cooled down a lot and will be getting a little cooler everyday.
