Hiking around Lake Powell 2015
Hiking around Lake Powell in 2015.
Lake Powell is a reservoir on the Colorado River, straddling the border between Utah and Arizona (most of it, along with Rainbow Bridge, is in Utah). It is a major vacation spot that around 2 million people visit every year. It is the second largest man-made reservoir by maximum water capacity in the United States behind Lake Mead, storing 24,322,000 acre feet (3.0001×1010 m3) of water when full. However, due to high water withdrawals for human and agricultural consumption, and because of subsequent droughts in the area, Lake Powell is currently larger than Mead in terms of volume of water currently held, depth and surface area. Lake Powell was created by the flooding of Glen Canyon by the Glen Canyon Dam, which also led to the creation of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, a popular summer destination. The reservoir is named for explorer John Wesley Powell, a one-armed American Civil War veteran who explored the river via three wooden boats in 1869.
In 1972, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area was established. It is public land managed by the National Park Service, and available to the public for recreational purposes. It lies in parts of Garfield, Kane, and San Juan counties in southern Utah, and Coconino County in northern Arizona. The northern limits of the lake extend at least as far as the Hite Crossing Bridge. A map centered at the confluence of the Escalante River 37°17′22″N 110°52′20″W with the Colorado River gives a good view of the extent of the lake.

A Journey to Lake Powell: Along Route 66
When you visualize the Southwestern United States, images of golden, barren deserts, vibrant hues of reds, vertical spires, the Grand Canyon and some of our nation’s most amazing national parks come to mind. Throughout the 50s and 60s, vacationers created life-long memories driving through this section of the country on historic Route 66, ushering in the automotive road-tripping culture. “Getting there is half the fun,” wasn’t only a popular marketing slogan, it was touchable and embraced. Ultimately these adventures were about creating memories with friends and families, and something you couldn’t wait to share with those yet to experience.
Boating, in many ways, shares the same emotional DNA with the road-tripping golden age of the automotive era. It’s adventurous, invites community and creates memories. That in itself has no monetary measurement and something we wish for everyone to experience and make a part of their own DNA.
In the spirit of adventure, and while embracing “getting there is half the fun,” we set out to do the same with friends from Axis Wake Research and our own Alliance team members. A road trip across some of our nation’s most amazing landscapes while paying homage to those before us. Through iconic sections of Route 66, camping amongst the wolves, a true and unplanned dirt road detour, river rafting Glen Canyon, an elusive Condor sighting on the rim of the Grand Canyon, driving down through Monument Valley, and then up the 11%-grade Moki Dugway pass, all to reach our final destination - Halls Crossing and the Bullfrog Marina - we without question lived half of this adventure just to reach our final destination: a houseboat trip on one of the most amazing bodies of water on our planet, Lake Powell. For us, the other half had just started and at the end our crew is forever bonded. We share an adventure and memories unique to us all, while imploring others to do the same.
We hope this photo feature encourages you to create your own road trip and boating memories. Ones that will inspire multiple generations after you. That being said, I dedicated this trip to my father Johnny Marotta, someone who embodied life’s adventure while inviting others to enjoy time together. Through a barren desert on a two-lane road, destination Lake Somewhere, with a boat in tow.

Kayaking - Antelope Canyon (Lake Powell)
#antelopecanyon #kayaking #lakepowell
Antelope Canyon is often considered one of the most beautiful slot canyons in the world. But many people don't realize that the canyon extends into Lake Powell and is one of over ninety canyons you can kayak when visiting Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. All of which means one thing: Lake Powell with more than 2000 miles of shoreline, is one of the Best places to kayak in North America.
Begin by putting in at the Antelope Canyon Marina, then paddle west from the boat ramp and enter the first side canyon on the left. Depending on the water level you can paddle more than three miles up the canyon. Just remember if you want to exit your kayak and hike further to the most popular section of the canyon then you will need both a permit and a guide from the Navajo Nation.

The Poweplant in Glen Canyon Dam on Lake Powell, Arizona
Glen Canyon Dam produces 4.5 billion kilowatt-hours of hydroelectric power annually, the equivalent of burning 2.5 million tons of coal or 11 million barrels of oil. It took a decade to build (1956-1966) from a series of gigantic concrete blocks and, unfortunately, eighteen workers perished during its construction. At 710 feet high, Glen Canyon Dam is just 16 feet shorter than the Hoover Dam, which is 370 miles downstream on Lake Mead. I visited Glen Canyon on April 15, 2012.

Der Crosby Canyon ist ein anderer Weg, das Ufer des Lake Powell zu erreichen, wenn Sie bereit sind Offroad zu gehen. Allradantrieb und Bodenfreiheit empfohlen!
Fahren Sie nach Big Water, nehmen Sie die zweite Straße rechts 'Glen Canyon National Park Rd' und fahren Sie weiter auf die Country Road für ca. 8,3 Meilen. Fahren Sie am Schild Warm Creek Bay via Crosby Canyon Road (BLM-Road 231) nach rechts. Viel Spass!

Ultimate USA West Coast Road Trip
In May 2014 we spent beautiful 17 days driving and exploring the Western part of United States. It was a road trip to remember and can't wait to do it again. During the road trip we visited four states - California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah - and drove 2866 miles (4612km).
Landed in Los Angeles, rented a Ford Mustang and first checked out Hollywood Boulevard, Chinese theatre, Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, Griffith observatory, Getty Center and Downtown LA with City Hall, Union station and Walt Disney Concert hall.
After visiting Santa Monica, Venice beach Boardwalk and Malibu beach we took one of the most beautiful coastal roads in the world – Pacific Highway 1 from Los Angeles to San Francisco. Plan enough time for this drive as you will want to stop every few miles to take photos as the views are insane (McWay Falls, Pfeiffer Beach, Big Sur, Point Lobos, etc.). Monterey’s aquarium is on the way and is a must visit, while Capitola and Santa Cruz are one of the best surfing places on earth.
After a quick stop in Silicon Valley (Apple, Google, Yahoo, etc.) it was time for the coolest cities in the world - San Francisco. We drove down the Lombard street, took the cable car, had fun at Pier 39, visited Alcatraz and enjoyed the city and other landmarks like Golden Gate, Twin Peaks, Mission District, Haight-Ashbury, Alamo Square, Hawk Hill and many others places.
Next on the list was Yosemite national park, which is another big must on the list. Why? Because it is one of the most beautiful places in the world! Driving to the Glacier point where you can admire El Capitan, Yosemite falls, Half dome, Nevada falls, hiking and exploring the park’s landmarks like Mirror lake, Bridalveil falls and staying at Curry village was truly an unforgettable experience.
After Yosemite, we headed over the Tioga pass to Mammoth and straight to the Dead Valley with all its greatness. The Badwater basin, Darwin falls, Mosaic canyon, Devil’s golf course, Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes, Artists Palette, Zabriskie Point, Dante’s view and endless roads which took us pass Las Vegas to the Hover Dam.
Coming on a Route 66 and stopping at Rusty Bold in Seligman the route took us to Bearizona Wildlife Park in Williams and then further on to the Grand Canyon where we stopped at Mather point, Desert view and Lipan point.
Driving further north is Page where we saw Horseshoe Bend, Lake Powell and spend some time with the Indians in the amazing Antelope canyon.
True Wild West experience is driving through the Monument valley with is endless roads and cluster of vast sandstone buttes. On the way there are interesting stops like Mexican Hat, Gooseneck state park, Muley Point and Moki Dugway.
Next was Moab and the Arches national park with attractions like Balanced rock, Delicate arch and Windows. But for sure, one of the most unforgettable experience was a 4-hour guided trip with the RZR cars in Moab desert. That was really awesome!!!
After driving through Torrey we found another beautiful road - Scenic Byway 12 - which brought us to Bryce Canyon with its Inspiration point, Peek-A-Boo Loop & Navajo/Queens Garden Loop and other breath-taking sights. Next national park was Zion with Kolob Canyons viewpoint and Lake Mead Scenic drive. Both national parks are amazing and huge, so you can easily spend a week or two.
Las Vegas with its 24/7 entertainment was the final stop before we returned our Mustang, departed back home and started planning our next trip…
