What to Pack For a Summer Trip To Lake Powell
Summer in Lake Powell is incredible. With warm days and crisp waters there’s plenty of fun even with the lower water levels. Here’s a list of five essentials to make sure you have the best trip possible!
Hat – baseball cap, sombrero, bucket hat, whatever cap strikes your fancy is fine by us, just make sure you bring one along. You absolutely will need it.
Windbreaker – while you’re likely to have sunny stifling weather in Arizona’s summer months, monsoons can be quite common, especially in the high elevations. And while a thick rain coat is absolutely an outrageous thing to stick in your bag, a waterproof shell, like this one, can totally come in handy. Especially since the weather on Lake Powell is known to change in an instant.
Novel – Nothing says relaxing under in the shade quite like a good paperback romance novel, and 100 Promises absolutely does the trick. Set in Lake Powell, it’s the lakeside read to keep you entertained while still offering you some well deserved chill.
Mineral Sunscreen – the Arizona sun is infamous for a reason and you absolutely need a strong sunscreen if you’re going to be out and about. We will chose a Badger sunscreen time and time again, but any of your tried and true sunblocks will do the trick!
Water Shoes – while the lake can be quite deep at parts, the lower water levels are exposing some sharp rocks. Flip flops always get stuck in the mud. Do yourself a favor and get a pair of water shoes so that the sharp razor clams, ghost bramble tumble weeds, and sandstone don’t cut your feet.
