A HEARTY START TO A BUSY DAY

Fuel up for the adventures ahead with a bountiful breakfast (and breathtaking views) in Lake Powell Resort's Rainbow Room.

EXPERIENCE A DAZZLING AMERICAN ICON

Horseshoe Bend is an absolute must-see on your trip, a geological marvel where the iconic Colorado River makes an awe-inspiring 270 degree turn in an unforgettably stunning display of nature’s raw beauty. A fantastic way to experience it is on our awesome half-day Horseshoe Bend Rafting Trip. Or head out by car to Horseshoe Bend Lookout - an easy 18-minute drive from Lake Powell Resort - and prepare to be mesmerized by views (1,000 feet above the river!) considered to be among the most stunning in the world.

MAKE A SPLASH ON GORGEOUS LAKE POWELL

Rent a powerboat for an afternoon of exploring canyons and having a picnic on your own secluded beach. You can rent a wakeboard or a set of ski`s to go with it. Or pull back the throttle on your Personal Watercraft and feel your adrenaline race. Whatever your need and whatever your speed, we've got the right boat for you.

DINNER NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD

The Rainbow Room at Lake Powell Resort offers an extensive selection of mouthwatering entrées ranging from fresh fish to flame-broiled beef and a delightful selection of vegetarian fare. And you'll never get tired of the amazing views!


2nd Full Day

Hiking, kayaking, and more


A TASTY START TO THE DAY

Breakfast at the Rainbow Room is the perfect way to start a Lake Powell day.

HIKE ACROSS A MAGICAL LANDSCAPE

Just a short distance from Lake Powell Resort you’ll find some of the greatest hiking in the American Southwest with endlessly gorgeous scenery and absolutely stunning views. From the easy trails of picturesque Navajo Canyon and legendary Rainbow Bridge to the more challenging terrain of Cha Canyon and beautiful West Canyon, this is hiking like you’ve never experienced before. Just two pieces of advice before you hike these magnificent trails: (1) Take plenty of water and (2) don’t forget your camera!

KAYAK THROUGH THE CANYONS

Kayaking is a wonderful way to take in the visual wonders of Lake Powell at your own pace and an ideal way to access some of our best hiking trails in the area. Best of all, it can be enjoyed by everyone. At Lake Powell, the Malibu Two sit-on-top rental kayak is our most popular. Compact, lightweight, stable, and versatile, it can be paddled solo or tandem and has a small area to store small items, such as drinks, lunches, and cameras – a must for getting the most out of your Lake Powell kayaking experience.

A PERFECT END TO AN UNFORGETTABLE DAY

Return to Lake Powell Resort and take a relaxing dip in our pool before dinner. Join us at Rainbow Room for an unforgettable meal. Then socialize afterwards at the Driftwood Lounge and share your adventures of the day with friends and family before calling it a night.
