This past Saturday, two girls that I live with and I risked the 3.5 hour drive to Lake Powell. Lake Powell is the second largest man-made lake in the US, and is smack dab in the middle of the Arizona desert. It is a monstrosity by any definition.
Driving across hours and hours of desert to get there was definitely strange. All of a sudden we passed through a town, rounded a corner, and there it was. Gallons and gallons of sparkling blue water. We clambered down sandstone phases and jumped in immediately. Hitting the water made the drive worth it. I'm not a big beach person, but three weeks in the desert makes you so much more appreciative of water.
I also managed to jump off of one of the sandstone cliffs into the water, I don't know how high up. I am a wimp, though, so it seemed ridiculously high.
