17th April: Lake Powell
From Wd
Gavin's diary—6.25pm Tuesday 17th April 2007, still at the Campsite somewhere in Utah between Bryce Canyon and Lake Powell
Everyone reaches a point where they are maxed out, hiking-wise. We may not have reached it yet, but seven of us decided to chill out in the sun on the shore of Lake Powell anyway.
There was no-one else on the beach. But there was a red ant and a pair of ducks. Lake Powell was out-of-season, so everywhere was closed except for the hotel restaurant, which charged the five of us $85 for a burger-and-two-beer lunch. Not bad at all.
On our return, we did the so-called Toadstool Trail, but frankly it seemed more like the Willy Trail when we saw the natural stone formations at the end of the walk.
