Colorado River – Meanderings & Mind Munchies

We have really lucked out with the weather on this trip. The forecast called for showers the morning of our Navajo Canyon boat tour, but the sun was out, and the temperature was perfect.

That is Tower Butte in the distance. You can take a helicopter ride and land on the top, which gives you a 360° view of the surrounding area.

The Navajo Tapestry. If you look carefully, you can see animals and Native American chieftains in the patterns on the rock face.

We were told that the white rock and the red rock are the same type of rock. However, the white rock has been calcified by the water. Where white changes over to red is the demarcation line of where the water level used to be.

Heading back to Wahweap Marina, which you can see in the distance.

Lunch at Wahweap Resort and Marina

After returning from our tour of Navajo Canyon, we had lunch at the resort. It was very good!

Wahweap Overlook

On our way back to the campground after lunch, we stopped at the Wahweap Overlook.

Other scenic overlooks

Since we had the time, we stopped at the other overlooks along the way. Lake Powell is basically a wide section of the Colorado River created by the Glen Canyon Dam. It has more than 96 water-filled side canyons, of which Navajo Canyon and Antelope Canyon are two.
