Lake Powell




Last week we had the opportunity to visit Lake Powell. For those of you who are not familiar with Lake Powell, the Lake is a man made lake created in 1963 after the addition of the Glenn Canyon Dam. The dam, backed up the Colorado River and created this massive lake. Lake Powell has over 1900 miles of shoreline - more shoreline than the western united states coastline. It is actually a narrow sandstone canyon filled by millions of gallons of water. The canyons are often narrow and dramatic. The posts and pictures that follow are about our 4 days at Lake Powell...Enjoy.
