20-21 May 2019. Lake Powell AZ/UT

We took a little longer route back home, stopping at one of our favorite parts of the country, Lake Powell near Page, Arizona. The weather was still iffy- rain, bits of snow, and lots of wind. We camped for a few nights at Lone Rock BLM campground, right on the beach at Lake Powell.

Here is our camping spot at Lone Rock Campground
The Lone Rock (hill) in the middle of this part of Lake Powell is the namesake of the Lone Rock campground
It was very windy at the campground. Here is a friendly kayaker, rescuing someone’s tent from the middle of the lake… We saw two tents end up out there…

One of our favorite spots in this area is on the North shore of Lake Powell, called Alstrom Point. Last year we camped there, but this year, the BLM office informed us that the road out to the point was “impassable” because of the recent rains. So we decided to leave our camper at the Lone Rock campground and drove the Jeep out toward Alstrom Point.

We took a side trip to Crosby Canyon, and drove through some areas that will be part of the Lake in a few months…

The Rocks tumbling down the mesa were bigger than the Jeep!

We made it to Alstrom Point in time for Lunch! And even in the rain, it was just as breathtaking as we remembered!

And yes, we could have made this trip just fine with our camper. Next time we will camp at the Point!

All the rain made the desert flowers bloom!
