What makes a Lake Powell Vacation so attractive to nearly 300 million visitors a year? Is it the clean, unpolluted azure sky, the clear sparkling water dancing in the early morning light? |

“…a curious ensemble of wonderful features…carved walls, royal arches, glens, alcoves, gulches, mounds, and monuments…?”
Yes! It is all those things and more.
It is the nearly 2000 miles of shoreline that attracts houseboaters from all over the world.
It is the long narrow meandering canyons that wind and twist like a giant serpent.
If you are looking for a reason to take a Lake Powell vacation, you have only to consider any of the above. But, if that’s not enough for you, consider the following:
