Lake Powell 2015 - Winter

[Wandering Sagebrush]

One of the fellows in a forum dedicated to wandering around the American west, did a New Years trip into the area on the north side of Lake Powell. I thought you might like to see these, so I requested permission to link to his images.

The night before...



The next morning...











A nice monochrome...

The pictures are absolutely beautiful. That shows the Southwest at it's best.

Remind me not to go to Lake Powell in the winter.

Awesome photos, thanks!

Beautiful pictures. It's not often that you see it with snow on it. If you do it doesn't stay around very long. This year was an exception.

Beautiful pictures indeed. But you could still launch on the lake. Here this time of year, you'd have to cut thru the Ice... Colby

Gorgeous photos! We were there March '13 and woke up to 3" of snow. Day before was 70 and sunny. Mountain weather changes fast. George

You got that right, George - from today, heading across New Mexico...





Not as pretty as those images from Lake Powell. Crazy-ass drivers here make it downright dangerous.

Too pretty. That is one of the gatherings/trips I have yet to make. Balmy 41 degrees here in Clarksville TN on the Cumberland River.

Gorgeous pictures, and beautiful country. gotta get there some day. I was in NM for New Years. It was about 2 degrees on my morning walk.

Jim, were you running a drag chain on the trailer in that white stuff?

I did almost 3000 miles over Dec - Jan and had bare, clear dry roads every day. Had time to pick my travel days I guess.
