I didn’t take this picture but it’s worth sharing. I’ve been to this overlook and taken a similar photo but mine was land based. This is prob via a drone. Amazing picture in any event

I saw that image too—pretty awesome, and I agree it looks like a drone image. It’s also interesting to compare to images taken there at higher water. I’m attaching two shots I took in Sept 2020 at 3599… not from a drone, but by anchoring along the main channel just south of the canyon mouth and hiking to an overlook point… much easier to do at higher water than today…

Not much to say, this place is utter worldly

Is that a mountain lion print, tracks?

WARNING: love letter to powell; I like this thread. I feel like the best Lake Powell photos are the ones I don't have, the ones where the absolute majesty and grandeur of the scene can't be captured in a 50mm framed view or whatever. I used to get upset driving into Wahweap Marina on the "View Overlook Road" when the foreign tourist would just stop in the road, dead stop. Don't get distracted or you'll rear end them. Then I realized that sometimes the scene is so other worldly that they have just never seen anything like it. That I'm used to Navajo Mountain covered in snow in the background with scattered clouds shading the foreground with some amazingly ginormous formations lit up in scattered red and grey background with beams of bright white light refracting through the clouds on some of them where they are lit up like being hit with a spot light. The whole 180 degree, 180 mile deep scene indescribable in it's breadth and depth, it's epic and it's impossible to see it in a picture so I don't bother to try and capture it, impossible. So when the tourists stop in the road I try to remind myself how lucky I am that this is my/our lake! Thank you GOD. Absolutely Amazing.

Squirrel, Thanks for the pic of chief tacaboo. What is the scale of that guy?

 

[Squirrel]

It’s probably 30’ to 35’ tall and he lives on the North shore of Ticaboo Canyon. Sq

Bill, was it you who skied into Gwyneth Paltrow?

Did you mistake her for a redhead?

I wouldn't mind skiing into Gwyneth Paltrow. She was a redhead in the Iron Man movies.

October we camped back side of cookie jar and it was an all time favorite trip including the windy rainy thunderous nights...

Labor Day Weekend 2022

 

[The Answer]

This is May of 2021 in the Wahweap area (it's bone dry now, hope it comes back!) After 40 years at the Lake this shot just says it all with the anticipation of the doggies waiting to go to the beach!
