Glen Canyon National Recreation Area Travel Page by richiecdisc

Glen Canyon National Recreation Area is like an oasis in the desert. As beautiful and natural looking as it looks, you just know it has to be man made. The red rocks and many colored hues are there, just like in much of the surrounding areas but now you have an immense lake that somehow doesn't quite fit in as much as you want it to. Factor out the man made aspect and it is one beautiful sight, especially after dwelling in the parched land around it for a few weeks. Obviously, this is a boater's paradise and if you don't have your own boat, there are boat tours.

To be honest, we used it more as a pit stop. It was a place to camp, grab a shower, and do our laundry. But while there, we enjoyed a few very nice meals with an awesome if somewhat man made view.
