Lone Rock beach Lake Powell


After being chased out by an oncoming storm on a quick hike from the Toadstools trail I headed east to camp for the night at Lone Rock beach along Lake Powell in Utah.

The stormy sky made for a great sunset over Lone Rock.

And a great sunrise too.
It sprinkled most of the night. I know because I was awake not able to sleep on the deflated air mattress.

Looking east towards Page Arizona
The beach was crowded for a week night.

I had concerns with the possibility of hard rain cancelling my tour of Antelope Slot Canyon, not the place to be in a possible flash flood. 
What tours or activities have you had to cancel because of weather conditions?

My World Tuesday – Lone Rock Beach Lake Powell

After leaving Buckskin Gulch I’d planned to hike the 1.5 mile (2.4 km) Toadstool Trail in Grand Staircase Escalante but it was 2pm and too hot to hike with no shade. Another day.

I continued on to Lone Rock Beach at Lake Powell where you drive right onto the beach to camp. It was still hot and also very windy so I parked nose into the wind and made my own shade.

Wahweap Bay is just one little finger of Lake Powell.

RVs, tents & houseboats line the shore for maybe a mile. I’ll bet they’re stacked on top of each other during the summer.

I sat outside working on my evening program, actually trying to remember and rework last year’s program. I’ll post this sometime.

And watching the world watch me.
