Formed after the construction of Glen Canyon Dam in 1963, Lake Powell now stands as one of the most striking bodies of water in America. It is 187 miles long and supports 1,960 miles of coastline.
AAA Travel Video explores the surrounding areas of this man-made wonder in AAA Travel Video Series: Lake Powell -- Utah, Arizona. A proliferation of National Parks called the Grand Circle enfolds this region. The Grand Canyon, Arches National Park, and Monument Valley all exist here. Though Lake Powell is a popular vacation spot for the scantily clad young, Arizona and Utah are also rich in history and culture. The ancient Anasazi and modern-day Navajo both call this area home. The most spectacular part of the AAA tour is the scenery. Soaring rock formations rise from dark shores and the colors leap from the screen. From Pedestal Rock to Antelope Canyon, the Lake Powell tour has to be seen to be believed. ~ Sarah Ing, All Movie Guide
