Lake Powell in October

We did our annual Lake Powell Trip this year over the UEA weekend. It was late in the year, but our lucky streak continued. We had fabulous weather! Since our group was small this year, we chose to camp further up the lake below Gregory Butte and not at Cookie Jar Canyon as in many previous years. We also didn't get in a cool hike at the end of a slot canyon, but we did make it to Rainbow Bridge which does require a 2/3 mile hike since the Lake is still low. Our attempt to find a neat slot in Cathedral Canyon was thwarted by very narrow waterways that I was not willing to take my new boat into. Still, we had smooth water, warm temps, and a great sandy beach and a star-filled sky at night. I really look forward to this annual trip each year and my only regret is having to leave so soon each time. We especially relished our time with Marty as he will not be able to join us for a couple of years.
