| Lake Powell
is the second largest man-made lake in the US and definitely the most scenic,
stretching 186 miles from Page, Arizona to Hite, Utah. It began filling
in 1963 following the completion of a dam across the Colorado River near
the south end of Glen Canyon, and was not completely full until 1980. In
1972 the lake and surrounding countryside was incorporated into Glen Canyon
National Recreation Area, and since then visitation has increased steadily.
