..... Do you think the "cut" will be open mid may ?
Never been to Powell, but isn't that the channel they physically deepened?
thikneck, thanks for the link, hope the water don't drop in may.
Castle Rock Cut-Off
3583.00
3580.00
14.73 Above
Open and Usable
I would highly doubt it isn't doing anything but raising fast in May. We have got a lot of snow this year.
Good, I will be in the four corners area mid may. I have never been to Powell. thinking the 50 mile cruise up the lake to see rainbow bridge would make a nice side trip. checking the lake Powell resorts web site now.
There is Bullfrog and Wahweep / Antelope point. They are at separate ends of the lake. Most people prefer Wahweep but I like the bullfrog North end more. The landscape is different up North. Are you going to have a boat? Rainbow Bridge is in the center of the lake.
my plan is to ride the tour boat out of wahweep marina. if the cuts not open its a Long boat ride, but I guess the scenery makes the time fly.
Another thing you may want to do is to go to Antelope Marina after your cruise. The restaurant on the dock is nice and it is fun watching all the activities......especially foreigners in rental boats :eek
If you are going to be there another day, the hike into Antelope Canyon is pretty nice. There are two places to go, one on each side of the main highway. The tours are run by the indians and the ones we have been on the folk do a nice job of explaining things, where to take the best shots and recommendations on settings for your camera/phone.
Powell is closed. No water it all dried up. They removed the dam to appease the tree huggers.
