I'm sure it will be great. We are going for the first time this year with some friends, renting two 75' houseboats as well as bringing our boat. Should be a blast. We are going early August.

There is still plenty of water in Lake Powell. Our snowpack is light right now, but we get the bulk of our snow in March and April. Like was posted above, the lake has over 2000 miles of shoreline.

Definitely worth the trip.

I was out there a couple of years ago. It was at 3660. I towed out there from St. Louis. Awesome scenery. Be prepared for cold water compared to water in the midwest. We started in Powell, then Mead, and then Havasu. We were gone for 4 weeks. Awesome trip. My wife took this video in Mountain Sheep Canyon Slot.

Cool video...man is it narrow thru there !!!!

Wow, how do you know where you`re going? Id be crapping my pants thinking i`d get stuck somewhere in those tight passages.. also how deep is it in those spots?

Its a must do trip I was out there in 06 allot of those areas I call them cracks you would see 175 + in depth , it quite intimidating .

I have been boating Mead for 35 years and always laugh when someone says"I quit going due to the lake drying up".I have seen it from overflowing the spillways to it's lowest levels and have not missed a summer in all these years.These lakes are hundreds of feet deep and if they are down 100 feet I have still been able to float my boats,yes it does limit where you can go but I have boated every summer for 35 years no mater what the levels were. The only problem with Powel when it is down is you cannot go as far into the fingers that run out of it but it is still an incredible lake. Make the trip you will enjoy it.

Depth didn't seem to be an issue until the very back of most slots. We went through a spot so narrow i turn off the engine and I was on one side and the wife on the other. We had about 4 inches clearance on either side, in 80' of water, and we pulled the boat through about a 100' section. We got lucky there was enough room to turn around at the end.

I would love to spend a week out there sleeping in the boat, is that feasible? the 20+ hour tow is a bit overwhelming thou ..I hate long rides
