NewMexiKen is just on a road trip with Dad, official dad of NewMexiKen. Today we drove from Tucson to Kanab in southern Utah passing the infamous Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell along the way. As a result of the inter-mountain drought Lake Powell is still down 95 feet from its maximum fill, but up 50 feet from its recent low. Some photos:
Lake Powell with the marina in the distance. Notice the bleached (white) “bathtub ring” rocks where the lake usually is.
Highway 89 bridge over the Colorado River just below the dam.
The damn dam.
Kanab, Utah, is an attractively set tiny little town not far above the the Arizona state line. If ever there, try Rocking V Cafe. Good food, nice people.
