A campfire 10 feet tall. Staying up until all hours of the night. Actually, I enjoy taking young people to Powell. Always changing Every trip to Powell is a new adventure. The lake is a living, dynamic thing, constantly changing.
Water levels are low right now.
Because of the low water, I recently had the chance to stay overnight in a small canyon that John Wesley Powell named Music Temple. At high water levels there are few beaches and no good camping sites. When 'old shady' sings us a song at night, we are pleased to find that this hollow in the rock is filled with sweet sounds. The floor of the chamber is now covered by water, but the canyon is still filled with the song of desert sparrows during the still of the evening. It's less than a mile from the mouth of Music Temple to the end of the boatable canyon.
