This morning we went paddle boarding on Lake Powell. Thumbs up to Max from Lake Powell Paddleboarding who patiently taught some of us (me) the basics while giving space to more experienced borders (Miss M) and allowing energetic boys (Big D) to fall deliberately off the board into the cool water over and over again.

We had a 6am reservation which worked out perfectly – the canyon was serene and without the sun beating down on us yet, the weather was ideal.

Max told us that Antelope Creek is about two miles long, and we paddle boarded about halfway in. It’s about 450’ deep in the center.

We arrived back at the hotel just as they were putting away breakfast, so the timing worked out on that end as well.

Here’s a quick pic courtesy of my cell phone in a water proof case (in case I fell in!)
