Where Rock
Meets Water:
The Beauty And Majesty Of Canyon Country
# 6556
Synopsis
Resulting from the construction of the Glen
Canyon Dam in 1963, Lake Powell is a surrealist’s dream, as houseboat
flotillas drift past curvaceous rock formations, hidden coves and
red-rock cliffs. Crystal-clear water reflects the lake’s towering
buttes. The lake winds 186 miles along the Arizona-Utah border and has
over 2000 miles of shoreline.
Page, Arizona, is 278 mi. north of Phoenix;
135 miles from Flagstaff.
Course Description
Enjoy two quintessential southwestern
adventures - a Colorado raft trip and a guided tour of Antelope Canyon,
the most photographed slot canyon in the Southwest. See the beauty of
the region revealed in rock as you enjoy a smooth water raft trip from
Lake Powell to Lee's Ferry, the beginning of the Grand Canyon. Raft
beneath towering 800 foot red rock cliffs, view riverside Anasazi
Petroglyphs (rock art) and learn the river's fascinating human saga.
Discover the region's fascinating geology, ecology, Mormon history and
the heroics of Major John Wesley Powell. Enjoy a guided field
trip (via a 4-wheel drive vehicle) to Antelope Canyon on the Navajo
Nation, where the forces
of the wind and water have created a miraculous kaleidoscope of colors
and shapes.
Elevation at Lake Powell is 4,300 feet.
