Water good, sand bad

With the heat of the desert, we are constantly on the lookout for bodies of water. We saw that Lake Powell wasn't far from our route to the North Rim and spent a night at Lone Rock beach. Not exactly private beach camping, but still worth it for the scenery, warm evening and sunset. And by worth it I mean, getting stuck in the sand and having a jeep pull us out onto the packed sand. We buried it good... whoops! (On a side-note, that was the third mishap we had recently and hoping they come in 3s and we are done with those. We ran out of gas on our way from Red Rock to Sedona. Got some assistance, thank god. And recked a portion of the rear bumper near Oak Creek. Sad, but was bound to happen at some point I think). We left Lone Rock pretty quick in the morning (as you get woken up around 6am by the OHVs being driven by 6 year olds), and hopped over to the day use beach, where we 2 of 6 people. Awesome swimming.


Glen Canyon Dam - Lake Powell is in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area
