Lake Powell Day 4

Day 4 turned out to be a lot of fun. We went up Moki canyon in search of sand dunes. We went on a fun hike where there were lots of fast lizards. We kind of found the dunes but they were overgrown. So we decided to go back to camp. When we got back we noticed very dark clouds and lots of loud thunder. We went up to our tent and it started to pour. It was also violently windy and we thought our tent was going to blow away with us in it! After about 15 minutes it passed. We were all a little nervous as to what we would find outside. Lance checked it out and saw little flash floods around our campsite. It turned out to be the most fun of the whole trip! This one area had little waterslides and pools all along it. We went on the best hike and the kids had a blast!

The storm that caused our grief and joy!
The flash flooding. We followed it all the way up to the source. Pretty fun!

This was such a fun trip. I think we all had favorite parts. I know we are all looking forward to doing it again someday. It is amazing how different each canyon of Lake Powell is. We only explored a little portion of this massively beautiful park. Until next time...
