We just got back from Lake Powell a week ago. We had a blast. We took Tim's parents up, as well as the kids. We drove over 300 miles, and we even got to go all the way up Escalante and see the Indian ruins. The boat ran great, the weather was beautiful, and we couldn't have asked for a better trip:) :) :)

How is the water there during the day? does it get blown out at all or would smaller boats be okay?(21 footer)

The water was actually pretty good. But it is monsoon, so the waves get pretty rough for your size boat. But you will be fine. In our boat it has been no big deal. If you want to avoid most of the chop, just get out early, and then head back thru the channel no later than 3 o clock. You will have a blast.

We need to set something like that up next year. Or maybe we should just all go to Powell-fest.:D

Great pics and looks like a great time was had by all. Did you stay at the hotell and day trip it out from there during the day? Also if I could ask did you slip the boat or just trailer it at night. We have always wanted to go but never seem to make the time. Thanks.

We've slipped there before. Nice big slips and never had any issues. You can reserve them with your room.

You can reserve them with or without a room at the Lake Powell resort. We stayed on property though. Always get a slip! It makes it much easier to get out early in the morning. We booked our room with AAA. The hotel was quoting $300+ on all other sites, including their own, but we got the rooms for $125 a night. Page is a pretty nasty town, and we haven't had good experiences at any of the other hotels. Plus you are right by the water, ready to go. The only other place I would recommend is Linda's Lake Powell Condos. They were pretty cool, but kind of far.

I like the last pic here. Sure is wild to see the old home of the first people here. There are some more ruins just up the 17, can't remeber how far up, maybe around Prescot area or north of it. But any way it's cool stuff to see. Just asked the "master". http://www.nps.gov/moca/ . nice little place to stop in and walk through. And yes Page is an armpit.
