Lake Powell
Posted by Belle on 11 Sep 2007 at 09:00 pm | Tagged as: AZ, Lake Powell, travels, trips
Here is the second batch of pictures of our long weekend trip; Lake Powell. Lake Powell is about 2 hours drive from Grand Canyon. It is the second largest man-made reservoir in the United States behind Lake Mead. Lake Powell is famous for houseboating. Its 185 mile long lake offers blue water, nice beaches, awesome red-rock scenery. Lake Powell is also a great place for boating, water skiing, fishing, or just merely sight seeing.
Lake Powell, formed by Glen Canyon Dam, is located in Page, AZ. The lake lies partly in Arizona and mostly in Utah but best access is from Arizona. There is only a roundabout dirt road access from Utah to Lake Powell which is not easy to find in the map. While most of the Lake Powell’s crystal blue water lies in Utah, Page, AZ has the most important part - the Glen Canyon Dam.
Here are the pictures:
I took this picture while seated in the car. This is the road to Lake Powell.
wow, i like the first shot, you captured it really well, the branch/leaves of the tree highlighted the mountain and complimented its nice color. hay, i can only dream going to places like this…
oh, Belle–by the day, mukhang you are perfecting your trade na — photography!
Gorgeous photographs, Belle! Well captured.
Very nice pics! Pang postcard ang dating!
Wow Belle, parang professional photographer ka na nyan ha…Very, very nice pics. Galing. I envy you dami mong time for vacations….
I love your photos but I think I like the composition of the last one because it seems mysterious like there is a surprise waiting around the bend.
Pang post card na tong mga pics Tita Belle! Sobrang gaganda ng pagkakuha. I really love your pictures!
It’s been quite a while, medyo busy lang po kaya di ako nakakavisit.
Here’s a big hug from all of us:)
The pic of the road to Lake Powell is my fave
It’s really good to get out the house even for just few days. Lovely photos!
Hi Belle,
The Lake Powell and the Grand Canyon pictures are stunning. Anyone would be worth blowing up and using as a wall mural. Ha! Maybe I’ll do that! All best,
Patty
wow very exquisite pictures, belle.

they are all frameworthy!

julie, you like the last one? i almost did not take that picture because we were on a busy road. notice the mark on the picture from the dirt of my windshield?
Mom, so paborito mo rin yong last one, thanks.
Patty, we have four pictures developed already to frame. i might also make a calendar out of the pictures i have taken.
please help yourself! thanks for stopping by.
chesca, thanks! thanks! i will post more later.
Steph, hahaha..of course, they gave us brochures at the entrance. lucky, it didn’t cost us any dime because daddy had a lifetime pass, same in Grand canyon. we save $15 in lake powell, and $25 in Grand canyon. neat, ha?
auee, thanks!
Wonderful photos! A trip is worth every mile when you are greeted with lovely surroundings.
