Vacation - Lake Powell

Lake Powell is a oasis in the midst of a desert. Its blue waters are a beautiful contrast against the reds, tans and whites of the canyon and its surrounding. We camped in the Wahweap campground and our campsite was just a few hundred feet into Arizona. The meant that the time was one hour late that it was in Utah. Being able to cross over the state line and back in a few steps allows one to experience time travel. Lose an hour, gain an hour, lose an hour gain an hour and only a few seconds have passed. While the campground is a true desert camp facility, they do have showers and this was a welcome treat.

Because of losing an hour, we only got to spend a very short time at Glen Canyon dam. This dam, like others on the Colorado, always amazes me. They are so tall and hold back so much water and this water houses many boats including large houseboats. John and Kerri-Ann are now interested in renting a houseboat. That will have to be another vacation, and on that vacation Ginny wants to go on a tour of Antelope Canyon. This is a awesome slot canyon that is just south and east of Page Arizona.

As we left the area, we stopped and bought more groceries at Walmart and then headed off to the Grand Canyon. Along the way, we stopped at several locations where the native American's were selling native American art and jewelery. These people make some very beautiful pieces.
