Beautiful Lake Powell

This past week I was blown away during my first trip to Lake Powell.  I was stunned by the beauty of the landscape.  I imagine that after an hour of being there, my family was probably sick of hearing me say, "I just can't believe how beautiful this place is!"  So...I won't have too much to say about the pictures I'm posting here....I'll just let them speak for themselves.
Glen Canyon Dam that holds all that water in to make Lake Powell.
Looking over the other side of the dam to the river below.
Some....ok....LOTS of my favorite scenery each day while we were boating.
These formations on this rock wall made me think it could have been an imprint from a dinosaur millions of years ago.
Final views from the road as we were leaving Lake Powell.
At left, in the picture below, is Wahweap Marina in Page, Arizona.  This is where we launched the boat from each morning.

See....I told you...BEAUTIFUL!!!
