Lake Powell is surrounded by mountainous terrain that is absolutely gorgeous during the summer. It's the desert. So, visitors can expect the mountain terrains to be comprised of Navajo and Windgate sandstone. The rust, chocolate, and orange striated stone is a beautiful contrast to the beautiful blue skies and waters of Lake Powell. While sitting in the boat and looking around at the gorgeous landscape, it will be an ideal escape. Depending on the time of year visitors go, it can be quiet and serene.
