The ones I have been to have all tended to be sometime between September 15 and September 30, depending on how the weekends fall. That's not to say no-one stays later (I like it there in October), but just when the "official" gathering tends to be. It's typically two weekends plus the week in between. A number of folks either go early, stay late, or both.
The late September time frame is a good balance between air temp, water temp, weather, and crowds (or lack thereof). |

We have found that the second week of Sept to the 2nd Week of Oct is probably the best time for Powell. We were there for Labor Day weekend last year, and got situated well before, and were fine, up a remote canyon (still had plenty of visitors).
By the end of Sept, it does start to get cooler, and the storms seem a bit more intense.
Unfortunately, we have probably done our last Powell trip, due to my heart disease. It is a great place, and should be on every C Brats "Bucket List". _________________ Bob Austin

I have been to Lake Powell several times. This past year was the first time in my own boat, and my wife and I enjoyed it. Next time I'd like to be with a group of C-Brats, thus I will plan on attending one of the gatherings (and my wife is already asking what dates she should put in for vacation. In fact, if the next one falls in October, I would probably sign up. However, we are doing another bucket list thing, an Alaskan Cruise in September, and not sure I could even get back out to Powell with the boat before the last week of September. (The Alaskan Cruise will be on a big ship. Doing it in our own boat, is another bucket list item. |
