Starting with our site at the Wahweap Campground:
where we had this view of Lake Powell:
Our initial trip was to the Horseshoe Bend area where we had the two mile round trip hike to see this:
It was well worth the hike and you will notice a small boat in the water on the left.
Our next stop was at the Lone Rock where you are able to camp on the beach and enjoy the water:
Next, we stopped at the Hayden Visitor Center and took these shots of the Glen Canyon Dam and the bridge next to the dam, and then the Visitor Center:
It was around 9 AM yesterday when we left the Lake Powell area - that was after turning our clocks ahead one hour. It was not the best travel day we have ever had. Shortly after passing through Kanab, UT, we ran into a snow storm - yes, SNOW - that, at times was a white-out. Here is a shot I took while driving:
The snow wasn't the scary part as much as the temperature swing - from about 45 in Kanab, to 32 where this shot was taken. It was white knuckles driving for almost 100 miles before getting some clear views. We arrived at our destination in Salina, UT at 2 PM and got setup in one of the worst sites we have ever had while traveling. The town is pretty nice, but this park is completely forgettable. I cannot get the RV level, and when we tried to connect to water, our infamous "leak" returned - in force. We had water running out from all over the underside of the RV near the hot water heater. The net of the set up and the night we spent is that we were totally not level and without running water. We did have water containers and were able to get through the night but we sure hope things improve at our next stop in Coalville, UT near Wyoming tonight. We are leaving extra early to make sure we get there in time to handle any potential problems...
