#Lake Powell Lookout Point

[rabbitcruiser]

Wahweap Overlook, AZ (No. 4)

Navajo Mountain On the far horizon, Navajo Mountain looms, a big dome erupting from the canyon landscape - a laccolith, a volcano that never came to be. Reaching an elevation of 10,388 feet (3,166m) above sea level, Navajo Mountain supports several plant life zones: desert scrub, riparian, pinion-juniper woodlands and ponderosa pine forests. It is one of many mountains sacred to the Navajo People.

Tower Butte Glancing across from left to right many buttes and formations appear. The most prominent on the far right is Tower Butte. Once a part of Romana Mesa, time and the erosive forces of water and weather carved and washed away the materials that connected them. Now this 1600-foot (488m) monolith stands solo and someday it too will crumble and disappear into the landscape.

Nevada, Utah, Arizona Road Trip

Are you considering taking a road trip out west? Don’t miss these iconic places!

First stop: LAS VEGAS! Las Vegas is spectacular, even if you aren’t into the neon lights. You wont regret making a quick pit stop here... who knows maybe you’ll even win some money for your trip. Definitely try to spend a day at a pool party and exploring the extravagant casinos. Don’t forget to hit the Fabulous Las Vegas Welcome Sign on your way out. 

Once you’ve had enough partying it’s time to head to the dessert. 

My advice is to rent a car using Turo after you’re done at Vegas. Only rent a car on Turo if you plan to return to Las Vegas, because this is someone’s personal car. Don’t rent until you plan to leave Las Vegas. You really won’t need it on the strip.. parking is complicated and everything is in walking distance. 

Second stop: THE VALLEY OF FIRE! Head 50 miles northeast of Las Vegas and you hit the Valley. Located in the Mojave Dessert, I recommend getting a convertible so you can get the most out of the views. Try to get here before noon because it gets extremely hot during the day. Make sure to stop by the Visitors Center and they will give you the best recommendations for the time of year you’re visiting at. 

Third stop: ZION NATIONAL PARK! Zion is about 2.5 - 3 hours northeast of the Valley of Fire. Try to get here around sunset for some stunning views. If you’re into hiking and camping I highly recommend bringing a tent to camp right outside the park. If not, you can find an affordable hotel about 1 mile out of the park. Once you arrive take a sunset drive through the park for astonishing views. Definitely wake up early the next day, and check out some local restaurants and shops. The head straight to The Narrows. The Narrows is a strenuous hike through Zion. If you only plan on spending a few hours checking out the park then I recommend doing the shorter hikes. There are several, You should stay here for 2 days minimum to get the full experience.

Fourth stop: KAYAKING LAKE POWELL! Approximately 2 hours from Zion... Lake Powell is a man made reservoir stretching from Utah to Arizona. You can catch some stunning views from the middle of the “lake”. There are many rental companies in the area. You can rent paddle boards, boats, kayaks, jetskis, etc. The company will charge you a slight extra fee for delivering the kayaks to the boat ramp but it will be a necessary expense if you rented a convertible. 

Fifth stop: HORSESHOE BEND! This was by far one of the most interesting places I have ever been. Located in Page, Arizona (about 30 minutes southwest of Lake Powell Kayaking) it is actually part of the Colorado River as well. Try to make it here for sunset, you will get the best pictures. When you pull into the parking lot there is a small fee per car. You will need to walk about 1 mile to the lookout (don’t forget your camera). Find a place to sleep halfway between here and the southern rim of the Grand Canyon. 

Sixth and final stop: GRAND CANYON! Try to make it to the Grand Canyon as early as possible because it does tend to get very crowded. The southern rim is open 24 hours, so you won’t have issues getting there too early. Enjoy your day driving around and checking out the incredible views. At some point it will be time to head back to Las Vegas. On your drive home don’t forget to hit Route 66. 

Enjoy your trip out west! I took this road trip in August 2020, and some unusual regulations were in place due to Covid-19. I recommend hitting the Seven Magic Mountains, Antelope Canyon, and the Hoover Dam if they are open now in 2021. Stay tuned for more travel advice!

About the backcountry fire in the Everglades or at Nordhouse, the hot pink glow of sunset on Mt Baker, how quiet the snow falls in Antelope Canyon, and the sound of quaking aspen leaves. I would tell of how cold it was that night on North Twin after I chose to not turn back, and how cold the Teklanika River runs in June. Id describe the way that buffalo smelled during our interview, and how he is my favorite animal now.  Id share that day baseball in Fenway is the best park now that Ive been to them all; unless we’re talking National Parks and Id tell you all about The Narrows. where to catch sunrise on The Tetons or Half Dome, and that Rialto Beach is my ace in the hole. Id tell of how ice blue the water is at Havasu and try to come up with some relatable metaphor to describe it - and fail. Id tell of the best sunsets in Bellingham and Ludington where the sun dips into the water and paints the clouds.  Id tell of times out on my own where I felt strong, in my kayak, at Ross Lake, or the Boundary Waters, or Pine River - times where I doubted my self, but survived.  Don’t get me started about the mustard dress  - we definitely don’t have time for that.  But I will tell you about how I married that girl in the same place where I kissed her for the first time and how every adventure is sweeter now with her to tell about it.  I would tell of my favorite roads and my favorite towns, and how Lockhart TX is the friendliest of all. And Id tell how I fell in love with the desert a long way from where I started - a drunkard for red sandstone and the distinct smell when it rains.  I could go on and on - because there is plenty of time in each day to live your adventure of dreams and Ive filled them up best I could with similar treasure on this Aesthetic Voyage; the rhythm of life with attention paid, and intention given.  ~Day 3000 Aesthetic Voyage

Leaving the redwoods and the coastal fog of California behind, we headed north into the great state of Oregon. One of the most geographically diverse states in the country, Oregon boasts Pacific coastline, volcanoes, large lakes, dense forests, and high deserts as well as some great cities. Any visitor will find it easy to fill a good chunk of time here. If you are hard-pressed for time, here are some of the best things the state has to offer.

The Oregon Shakespeare Festival

If you find yourselves in Southern Oregon, you absolutely have to head over to Ashland for the annual Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Running nearly all year long (February-November), the festival produces 11 plays on three different stages. During the summer, make a point to see a show in the outdoor Allen Elizabethan Theatre. This is an incredible open air venue, complete with a three story, half-timbered facade reminiscent of a Tudor-style manor. Outside of the Globe Theatre in London, this is as authentic as Shakespeare gets. We caught a performance of The Winter’s Tale… with a little twist. Instead of being set in Italy, Leontes and his court lived in a decidedly Asian setting while Polixenes of Bohemia was instead a band of North American hippies. It was a fantastic performance in an incredible location. For more information about the festival, check out their website: www.osfashland.org

Crater Lake National Park

Less than 2 hours from Ashland lies Oregon’s only National Park, Crater Lake. What was once an enormous volcano named Mount Mazama, now contains a deep caldera lake. Diving to a depth of 1,943 feet, the lake is the deepest in the US. A road circles the rim of the lake, giving visitors plenty of lookout points to admire the lake’s sheer size and deep blue color. One of the best vantage points in the park is Watchman Peak. It’s a 1.6 mile roundtrip hike up to an old fire lookout. Another great hike is the 3.6 miles roundtrip up to Garfield Peak (8,054 ft). Here you can look out upon the pristine lake and it’s defining feature, Wizard Island. Afterwards, check out the historical lodge and the informational lookout tucked below the visitor center. In the summer, don’t miss out on the Cleetwood Cove Trail. This leads to the lake’s only swimming area. You can also catch a boat from here, for a scenic cruise around the lake.

Waterfalls

Being located in the rainy and water filled Pacific Northwest, Oregon has its fair share of waterfalls. In fact, there are 238 known falls and probably countless others. Any trip to the state would not be complete without a visit to at least one or two. As we headed north through the Umpqua River Valley, we passed numerous including the impressive, 120 foot Toketee Falls and the wispy 272 foot Watson Falls. Both required short hikes to the viewing areas. If you were only going to pick one however, easily the most popular is Multnomah Falls just east of Portland in the Colombia Gorge.

Eugene

Conveniently located off Interstate 5, Eugene makes a great stopping off point on your way north. The home of the Ducks, Eugene is a true college town. The town’s creative atmosphere is where Nike got it’s start! And while their football team has been better as of late, the University of Oregon will always be known for it’s track and field and the late great Steve Prefontaine. Pre’s legacy still lives on in the form of a wonderful 4 mile long running trail that weaves through a beautiful park setting. Simply called, Pre’s Trail, the path is laid with wood chips and mulch and is much better on the legs than concrete.

Portland

While Salem may be the official capital, Portland is the largest and most visited city in the state. Nicknamed Stumptown from it’s early beginnings when there were more tree stumps than people, Portland nowadays is a bustling and vibrant foodie city. Food trucks and organic restaurants are everywhere, as are breweries, beards, and bikes. As expected, the town has a very unique and unusual history. Take its famous bakery Voodoo Donuts for example. It was temporarily closed by the Health Department as some of their donuts contained over the counter drugs (NyQuil and Aspirin)! As with many other places, I would recommend starting out with a walking tour. You won’t find any better than the free Secrets of Portlandia Tour. The Portland local is easily one of the best guides I’ve encountered and he’ll show you all the sites including the Portlandia Statue and the Bubblers that kept lumberyard men sober. Check out the website here: www.secretsofportlandia.com  Another must do is Powell’s City of Books. For book lovers, this place is absolutely heaven! Lose yourself among the rows and rows of the World’s Largest Independent Bookstore.

Salmon Ladders in the Columbia River Gorge

A drive along the scenic Columbia River is a must do for any visit to Oregon. Waterfalls abound as do impressive views of this mighty river. Often overlooked are the feats of engineering used to tame the water. There are several locks and dams along the Columbia, none more interesting than the Bonneville complex. Head into one of the visitor centers where you can peek below the water at all the fish making their way up the ladders. Learn about the different species of salmon and the seasons when they run.

The Perfect Week in Oregon Leaving the redwoods and the coastal fog of California behind, we headed north into the great state of Oregon.

This is going to be kind of a crazy story. But it was fun living it. It all began with us wanting to see The Grand Canyon. There are two popular places to see it, the North Rim and the South Rim. The North Rim is about 2 hours from Southern Utah and the South Rim is about 6 hours from Southern Utah. So, of course, we wanted to see The Grand Canyon via the North Rim. And that is where our journey began.

On Saturday morning (March 11), we woke up, had some breakfast and we were going to try to maneuver our way to the northern side of The Grand Canyon. Shouldn’t be too hard. Right? Wrong! The Arizona Department of Transportation closes the road, State Road 67, to the North Entrance, until May, so you cannot enter the park even if the National Park Service kept that entrance open. However, we were told that there were many different dirt roads that led to The Grand Canyon. I looked at a map and thought I had found a route to get to Thunder Spring. So, we packed some food, an overnight change of clothes (just in case), a water jug and we were on our way.

We made our way into Arizona and headed toward Fredonia. Just outside of Fredonia, on US Route Alt 89, you can reach the Kaibab National Forest. The plan was to take National Forest Road 422a to Ryan Road and onto a few other dirt roads until we made it to Thunder Road, which would take us there. We made it to the Kaibab National Forest in the early afternoon and had plenty of sunshine and clear skies. We made it down 422a to Ryan Road and continued back onto 422a. We made it miles into the interior and past Big Springs Cabin (about the 1/2 way point).

That is when we ran into it. The dirt road was completely covered in ice and some snow. I saw some uncovered dirt road ahead, so we put Ebony into 4WD and made a run at it. We cruised through without an issue. Then we came to a part of the road that was uphill, sloped towards a drop off with no guard rail and covered in ice. The danger was too great so we turned around.

It was at that point that I said,”Well…we didn’t get to see The Grand Canyon and I still want to see it.” So I said, “South Rim?” I looked around the car and got nods from all of my fellow Nomads. Off to the South Rim we went. The route actually took us through a place called Marble Canyon, located upstream from The Grand Canyon on the Colorado River. The scenery up to this point was so beautiful.

We continued southward until we reached Cameron. This is the city that is at the junction of the road that leads to the Eastern Entrance of The Grand Canyon National Park. It was dark and we decided to stop, grab some dinner and find a hotel room for the night. There was only one motel in Cameron and it was booked full. I called a few of the ones inside The Grand Canyon Village (in the park). They had one available for $481 for one night. We passed on that one. Every hotel I called in Flagstaff, an hour away, was booked. We finally found one in Tuba City on the Navajo Reservation, about 30 minutes away, for $100 per night per room. We were tired and that was in the range of expectation.

We headed to Tuba City, checked in, and got some rest. The next morning, bright and early, we headed to The Grand Canyon. We took State Road 64 to the East Entrance. Not too far inside the East Entrance we came to the Desert View Watchtower, a 70 foot stone building right on the South Rim of The Grand Canyon. If you go up to the top, you will get some spectacular views of The Grand Canyon. Oddly enough, there were not many people there.

We continued onward towards Grand Canyon Village. Along the way there were multiple pull offs and lookouts. We pulled into every one and explored. Most only had a few people and we were able to see a multitude of different angles of the canyon. At one point, we actually saw a spot where the Colorado River had eroded all of the soil and rock down to the actual plate of the Earth’s crust!

The last lookout we came to was Grandview. The parking lot was completely full. We had to circle twice before finding a spot. This particular place seemed crowded because it was the first place you could park and hike down to the canyon floor. We opted not to do this because it took about 6 to 8 hours to reach the bottom and then 6 to 8 hours to come back up. We were not prepared for that kind of hike. After a little exploring around the rim, we headed to the visitor’s center that was towards the village. The place was completely packed! We used the rest room and got out of there.

We knew that the crowds would only get worse from there, so we decided to head on out of the park. We had explored The Grand Canyon for hours and were completely satisfied with our experience. So, we hit the road and headed back towards home base. However, we took a different way back.

The return route took us through Page, Arizona. This is the location of the Famous Horseshoe Bend just south of Lake Powell. For those of you who are unaware, this is a place in the Colorado River where the river does a 180 degree bend to form, what looks like, a horseshoe. You can access it by boat from Lake Powell. Or, you can pull off of US Route 89 to see it from the cliffs above. This is what we did.

The pull off has paved parking and outhouse style bathrooms. From the parking area, it is a 1.5 mile hike, round trip, to get to the steep cliff overlook. The entire way there is fairly sandy and, with the exception of having to hike up a steep hill there and back, the hike was rather easy. We arrived at the overlook at it was magnificent. We had never seen a river do this. And, we were 1000 feet above it to view it. The boats in the river looked like floating pieces of rice, they were so small.

One word of caution, there can be quite a few people around. There are no guard rails. And if someone is careless around you and you are not aware, you may get knocked off-balance if you are too close to the edge. So, please proceed with caution. We found that if you hike about 50 yards to the left of where everyone is, there are no crowds and the view is still great.

From here we headed straight for home base. We were beat from driving for two straight days and from hiking around all of the landscapes we encountered. What started as a simple couple hour scouting expedition to find a dirt road access to the North Rim led us into a 2 day long jaunt covering hundreds of miles. But, boy was it fun. Safe Travels.

The Grand Canyon This is going to be kind of a crazy story. But it was fun living it. It all began with us wanting to see The Grand Canyon.

Wahweap Overlook, AZ (No. 3)

Kaiparowits Plateau Opposite Navajo Mountain, the Kaiparowits Plateau reaches in from your left. Though the origin of its name is unknown, some sources have revealed two possible, yet unsubstantiated meanings: “Big Mountain’s Little Brother”, or “One Arm”. One thing is certain, archeological evidence reveals the fact that Ancestral Puebloans hunted and gathered here. The diversity of the Pinion-Juniper woodland provided nuts, berries and grains to gather, as well as rabbits and deer to hunt. What kind of tools do you think prehistoric humans created to help them survive in a harsh desert environment?

Wahweap Creek Nested on the edge of the canyon, Wahweap Marina serves as a destination resort and launch point for modern day explorers seeking recreational adventure on present day Lake Powell. Wahweap Bay curves around from the left eventually joining the main channel of the Colorado River. Before the building of Glen Canyon Dam, Wahweap Creek meandered as an intermittent stream. Along this channel, seeps and springs occur, and the Paiute name of Wahweap, referring to the bitter taste of these alkaline seeps, is bestowed upon this canyon. Early river runners hiked up Wahweap Creek to seek out these cool grottoes. Other seep springs thrive within Glen Canyon providing vital habitats for many plant and animal species. Our continued stewardship will help protect these fragile and unique habitats.

Wahweap Overlook, AZ (No. 2)

Stories Within the Stone On the north side of Lake Powell, the geological layers of the Straight Cliffs, Tropic Shale, and Dakota formations allude to a world long gone. Within the fossil record, a remnant of the Cretaceous period (144-65 million years ago) is revealed. Plesiosaurs, Ichthyosaurs, and Tortoises swam in a vast inland seaway. The shoreline sported a lush habitat and the first flowering plants appeared. Among them, dinosaurs roamed the earth and early mammals flourished.

Franciscan Explorers On July 29, 1776 two Franciscan Priests, Padres Francisco Atanasio Domínguez, and Silvestre Vélez de Escalante set out on a quest. With a small assemblage of men, horses, and cattle, they departed Santa Fe, New Mexico in search of a trade route to Monterey, California. With winter soon at their heels, they decided to turn back, reaching the Colorado River at the Paria confluence on October 26. Finding the river difficult to cross, the padres dispatched scouts to seek out a better location. Think of the frustration experienced by these hungry, exhausted, explorers. Imagine the desperate hope that motivated their search. On November 7, they finally forded the river in present day Padre Bay at a location now known as Crossing of the Fathers. Though they failed in their quest to reach Monterey, part of their original route would come to be known as the Old Spanish Trail.

Wahweap Overlook, AZ (No. 5)

The Dynamic Force of Water Water has played a significant role in Glen Canyon’s past, and continues to do so today. Deposits left by ancient sea beds, runoff from a melting ice age, undercutting seeps that create a desert oasis, erosion, and the flowing force of the Colorado River have all contributed to the dynamic scene before you. Within this tough and rugged landscape resides the delicate beauty of life. Butterflies dance from one wildflower to another, coyotes lurk in the shadows of twilight, ravens play in the air currents overhead. Water is the liquid gold that makes life possible within the desert environment, however, periodic drought can challenge even the heartiest species. We must be ever mindful of the challenges that plants and animals must endure, remembering we are respectful visitors in their desert home.

Wahweap Overlook, AZ (No. 1)

A short journey from the Carl Hayden Visitor Center, you will find the Wahweap Overlook. This high point offers a 360-degree panorama of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. It is a “must see” at anytime of day, however, sunrise and sunset adds a fusion of brilliant color to this awe-inspiring scene. There is a shade shelter and a bench for your viewing comfort. Bring a picnic, camera, and binoculars along and enjoy this delightful view.

In every view, there is a story. Like a window to the past, the landscape before you represents a timeline of natural and cultural events. Within the panorama that is Glen Canyon, stories and secrets are revealed; and through exploration, we discover some of its mysteries. Glance over the Glen Canyon landscape, and imagine events form a distant past.

The Colorado River and Lake Powell In 1869 Major John Wesley Powell led an expedition down the Colorado River, taking copious notes about the geography, geology, natural and cultural history he encountered along the way. With the building of the Glen Canyon Dam, nearly a century later, this reservoir would be his namesake. Lake Powell and the Colorado River provide water, vital to western habitation, by contributing to crop irrigation and water resources for the lower basin states of California, Nevada and Arizona, as well as Mexico. In addition, it provides clean hydroelectric power. Throughout the years, the Colorado River has been both friend and foe. It has been a barrier to cross and conquer, a way to explore uncharted territories, a provider of vital resources, and simply a means to experience the adventure of it all. Lake Powell and the Colorado River continue to fulfill our zest for adventure.
