Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell

The Glen Canyon Dam is a dam located on the Colorado Rive at Page, Arizona. We got to Page in the middle of the night Thursday and didn't know it. The dam was finished in 1963 and provides electricity for the surrounding area. The completed dam created Lake Powell, where many boaters flock.

The layers of the rock was really interesting.

The lake itself is somewhat of an oasis and is really pretty in contrast with surrounding rocks.
