Sunset from our campsite in Oak Canyon. The rocks along the shoreline of Lake Powell are primarily Navajo Sandstone. P.S. Sorry the pictures are in reverse order, take a look at the narrative below.
Me breaking up some wood to feed the campfire. Ticaboo is behind me, with Navajo Mountain in the background. The temperature today was around 60 degrees, just a perfect day to go boating.
Mary tending the campfire, before dinner, in Oak Canyon. Oak Canyon is approximately 60 miles uplake from the Glen Canyon Dam.
Snow capped Navajo Mountain, sits on the Utah/Arizona border. The mountain is entirely on the Navajo Nation and stands 10,300 ft. above sea level.
The morning view from our first campsite near Castle Rock.Ticaboo launched from the Wahweap Marina on Nov. 14th for a week long trip on Lake Powell.
This is a very special trip because I have a first mate named Mary. We spent the first night at Castle Rock, which is between Wahweap & Warm Creek Bays.
Today we traveled, in beautiful weather from Castle Rock to Oak Canyon. Oak Canyon is very close to the Utah/Arizona state line and is at the base of, snow covered, Navajo Mountain. Tonight before dinner we built a campfire. After dinner we went out on the foredeck of Ticaboo and star gazed, at an unbelievable sky. Then we went inside and Mary skunked me at cribbage!
The attached pictures were taken over the past two days and we will continue to keep you posted on this Lake Powell trip, over the next week.
We did Lake Powell a few years ago...it is amazing. The scenery is beautiful..we would be traveling thru a canyon ..feeling like we were the only people in the world and around the corner would be the biggest houseboat we'd ever seen. We hope to do it again
