We took the smaller speedboats through the narrow, twisting walls.
Without a rigid schedule, time slowed down. The group operated on "lake time"—waking up when the sun hit the canyon walls and sleeping when the fire burned down to embers. Mornings: Glass and Gasoline
Unscripted: Spring Break Lake Powell -2018- The red rock canyons of southern Utah do not care about your itinerary. In the spring of 2018, a group of college friends and I learned that lesson the hard way—and it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to our spring break.

When an unexpected spring gale blew through on day four, forcing the crew to shelter-in-place inside a narrow cove for 18 hours, it wasn’t a ruinous delay.

We lay on the top deck sleeping bags, passing a bottle of Fireball, not talking. A shooting star crossed every thirty seconds. It felt scripted. It felt like the sky was putting on a show for us .
We took the speedboat—a necessary accessory to the houseboat—and scouted ahead. We bypassed the crowded beaches near the marina and pushed further up-lake. We rounded a bend near Padre Bay, the lake's largest expanse, and found it: a perfect, sweeping crescent of orange sand backed by towering Navajo sandstone cliffs, completely empty.
At Lake Powell, the transition from day to night is a cinematic event. As the sun dips below the horizon, the orange rock faces undergo a slow transformation, burning a fiery magenta before cooling into deep shades of purple and charcoal. Mornings: Glass and Gasoline Unscripted: Spring Break Lake

The highlight of the trip came on our fourth day. A passing boater stopped by our camp to chat and, seeing our lack of a motorized watercraft, offered to take our group out to see the legendary Rainbow Bridge National Monument.
