Glen Canyon Rec Area is just down the road so we decided to go down for a few days. Lake Powell is a resevoir on the Colorado River and is down about 135 ft. – yup- 1-3-5 ft. The southwest has been in a drought for 20+ years! Page, AZ is the more populated use area of Lake Powell- up at the northern area there is less use. The boat ramps have been closed, shifted or moved making even less access. The Lake is at about 35% of capacity- everyone below here relies on water from here- all the way to southern California- which means there is not enough water for homes, industry and agriculture.

We rented a boat one day to explore the Lake- motored up three canyons to see the sitghts. Weather turned hot while we were there- high 80s and breezy.

There is almost no access to walk into the lake to swim or wade as the edges are all so steep. We did find one place where we could get Rhylee in.
