[Sandstone Addiction]

If heaven ain't a lot like Lake Powell, I don't wanna go. :nod:

More beautiful shots Kurt. The Entrada (my fav) is so gorgeous in the evening sun.


Thinks for the fix.

Nice photos! Haven't been on the river this year as I've had too many other things cooking. Rather than start a new thread, I'll post of few shots from previous years. I didn't have a fancy camera when these were taken, so they may not be up to Old NO. 7's standards.

White Canyon. We managed to launch from Hite in Spetember 2011 when the water level was way up. The way things look now, I'm not waiting for a repeat.

Not sure how this will resize, the original is 51MP.

It's a Panorama that goes from Bigwater to Page.

In it's original size it is quite detailed.

Kurt, where did you see that wild (?) horse?

Towards the front of Face Canyon

[oldno7]

I would guess just a Navajo pony, rather than wild but:ne_nau:

Amazing pictures. Just wondered which canyon the alcove (pic 12) was, and which canyon pic 14 is. (I think la Gorce is the other one).

Thank You--Davis Gulch, West Canyon, hope that helps.

Awesomeness :2thumbs:

Thanks, JP

Love the way the water zigzags through the foreground. Wonderful light! That is one tough life you are having on the lake....

[Bluff-Canyoneer]

I took the wife to Lake Powell for Valentine's Day weekend (her choice!). Couldn't quite meet Scott P's standards, but at least I brought some flowers and a card.

Temps in the low 70s, and we pretty much had the whole lake to ourselves. We departed from Wahweap (no one else at the mussel check point or the ramp) and headed down to the Labyrinth Canyon area. After exploring Labryinth for a while, we set up camp right under Dominguez Butte.

Valentine's Day in camp:
72149


That night, we saw one of the most spectacular sunsets either of us has ever seen:
72150

Sunrise on Feb. 16:
72151

Our not-so-new boat, a 1975 Starcraft Holiday 16, with an 85hp Mercury. We recently bought it from a retired guy in Flagstaff who is too feeble to use it anymore. He was the original owner and still had all the original documents.
72152


We got off the Lake just in time on Sunday. As we were driving home, the winds picked up to about 40 mph, which would not have been fun in our little boat.

Edit:
If this belongs in a new thread under boating, I'd be happy to have a moderator move it.

Nice :cool2:

Damn that's nice!

No--it is up Navajo.

Last Friday morning at Powell

[Sombeech]

Hey what kind of boat are you usually cruising around in? It looks like you visit the same areas as some friends of mine, their last name is Saarelainen, he's from Finland.

[Sandstone Addiction]

their last name is Saarelainen, he's from Finland.
Sombeech Is your friend named Ilka?

Beautiful pic Kurt...looks a little breezy for that early in the morning. Is that pic taken from the beach?

The wife and I spent last weekend on the lake. Put in at Wahweap, where we were the only boat on the ramp, and camped at the mouth of Last Chance Bay. It was amazing: temps around 65 and had the place to ourselves. Only saw two other boats in three days.
