Glen Canyon National Recreation Area

Oct 30 - Nov 6  Weather forecast is above normal so we are staying in Page, Arizona for the week.  70's and lows high 40's.  Perfect.
100's of houseboats for rent in Lake Powell
The Lake Powell Wahweap RV and Campground is inside the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (which means is it part of the National Parks Services).
It is just a wonderful location.  The scenery is mind boggling!  We have Jack Rabbits, Roadrunners and hardly any campers right now as it is considered the winter season here.
he has big ears, big eyes and really big feet!
At sunset we walked from the campground across the street to the boat launch.   It is the biggest boat launch we have ever seen.   At least 10 lanes down to the water, Wow!
Look way down there, like way way down there.  This is the boat ramp!!!
The mind blowing part is that Lake Powell is down 90 feet right now.  Being controlled it is down 90 feet.   In a few weeks they will let some of the water back in and up it will go.   In the meantime the Boat Launch is way down there.  Lake Powell is extremely popular for houseboat rentals.   There has to be at least 100 houseboats in the marina.  As the sun sets the colours in the canyon walls are absolutely breathtaking.  Postcards?  should be.  These are just my little cheapo camera pics.  The world is a glorious place; and Lake Powell is stunning.
