Lake Powell, Utah
Lake Powell is a definite "do whatever it takes to get here" trip. Absolutely
stunning. This is one of 4 places I return to again and again (others are Florida,
San Francisco, Las Vegas) Thousands of acres of crystal clear rivers, lakes, streams,
gulches, mountains, cliffs, rock formations, and desert plants running through
huge canyons. We put kayaks in at the Wahweap ½ mile long boat ramp, kayaked
through the canyons, snorkeled in the 15 feet plus visibility water, then lay
on the big flat rocks to "warm back up".



Another way to experience this
is with a large group of friends, rent a sleep-14 person houseboat, complete with
4 jet skis, for $5,000 - $8,000 a week, split the cost. If you can only do one
boat based remote trip in your lifetime do LAKE POWELL! Many experienced travelers
say there is nothing like this in the entire world. Do the antelope canyon portion
also. We have dry camped here before but you get so tired by days end and the
evenings are so hot we usually pay the $20 - $30 a night for rv hookup. Visit
ONLY in the summer when the water is warm enough to swim in. Easy to do with kids,
no biting insects.

Lake Powell is an absolute blast. We have so much fun kayaking into narrow channels to see what we can find. When the water stopped we parked the kayaks and walked about a mile through Antelope Canyon. Click here to see mud fight pictures in Lake Powell.
