Utah Vacation - Lake Powell

We arrived at Lake Powell resort late yesterday.  Note to self:  don't stay at the Resort again.  It was the most expensive room we have had yet, and it was not nearly as nice as other places we have stayed.  When we left, we drove through Page, AZ for lunch and found several very nice looking motels.  We chose Lake Powell as a place to stop on our way to Moab, UT.  Though we hadn't the time to rent a houseboat as we have done in the past, at least we could take a boat tour.


We left from the Wahweap Marina on the left side of the map

and circumnavigated Antelope Island.  We went through a narrow channel you can hardly see on the map, going past Castle Rock

 and entering Navaho Canyon on the upper middle of the map.

We saw a great example of what they call Navaho tapestry on the canyon wall.

Then we went past the entrance to the upper portion of the lake (upper right on the map) and went into Antelope Canyon (lower right on the map.)  We went quite a way into the canyon until we had to turn around in a very tight spot.








Then we came back out of the canyon and continued around Antelope Island.  We went past Antelope Marina where there were many very fancy houseboats moored.


Then we had a quick view of the dam, then back to Wahweap.
After lunch we drove the 4.5 hours to Moab, UT where we will spend the next several days.
