Lake Powell

History :       Lake Powell was created in 1963 when the Glen Canyon Dam held back the water of the Colorado River, forming a vast blue lake surrounded by beautiful sandstone walls on the border of Arizona and Utah. Remarkably, it took 17 years for the lake to fill the canyon to the high water mark (3700' above sea level), giving America its second largest man-made lake - and a playground like no place else on earth.

We got very close to the canyon and so were able to get an appreciation of the geology and colour.
