: We are off to Lake Powell in about 8 hours. It is a little cool
: with day time temps in the mid 50's and nights around freezing
: warming late in the week. Water should be in the high 60's. Our
: last paddle there was during the greatest rain they think the
: area has had in 1,000 years. We paddled about 120 miles mostly
: against the wind and hiked about 15 and with Dave's cooking I
: still managed to add about 5 pounds. It will be interesting to
: see what this trip brings. Reg, I am taking the Gopro I hope I
: have some time to play with it. One plan I have is to send it up
: a kite string to get an aerial of the canyon, there is usually
: not a lack of wind. Rob, as much as I like that side of the
: border in the summer there are a few advanatages to living in
: the desert, sorry about your ice.

We just did a 2 1/2 day tour of Lake Powell a couple of weeks ago. We opted for the lazy option - got a ride to the entrance of a couple of slot canyons, then paddled and hiked in. Some pictures here:

We left our kayaks at home and used the ones supplied by the tour operator. The Powell adventure was just a few days in a longer hiking and camping trip. Beautiful and well worth while. Weather was perfect, although lots of rain in the neighborhood.
