Lake Powell August 2008

We spent last week (Aug. 25th-30th) on lovely Lake Powell and I thought I'd post a few pictures for those of you that might be interested in visiting it someday.

Here's a shot of our house boat in one of the coves of Dry Rock Creak Canyon just around the corner from Dangling Rope Marina. We had a great time jet and water skiing, fishing, sight seeing and relaxing. The sunrises and sunsets were fantastic. I loved sleeping on top of the boat, under the stars, each night and watched Cygnus in the Milky Way cartwheel overhead. Talk about very dark skies!

Here's a typical sunset. This shot was taken from Last Chance Canyon about halfway between Wahweap and Dangling Rope Marinas.

Great pictures, Jerry! Thanks for sharing.
I'll be living just north of there, near Capitol Reef, in another year or two.
Looking forward to lots of trips down to the lake. grin
