I'll second Lake Powell Posted by: jengel on Jan-10-12 10:29 AM (EST)
Yes to everything Pikabike wrote. I was there in March a couple years ago. Went out on the Lake on a Monday. Had the place pretty much to myself. On Saturday morning it seemed every houseboat in the SW was entering the lake. The houseboats are the size of small apt buildings. So, go during the week. You don't need a tent, sleep under the stars and paddle in and out of all the little pocket canyons. Nothing like it. Jordan
