8Lake Powell (Arizona/Utah)

Lake Powell, a man-made reservoir on the Colorado River, spans the border between Arizona and Utah and is renowned for its desert beauty. Set against the backdrop of red rock formations and vast canyons, the lake’s clear waters provide a stunning contrast to the surrounding arid landscape. It’s an ideal destination for houseboating, kayaking, and fishing.

One of the lake’s most famous attractions is Rainbow Bridge, one of the world’s largest natural bridges, accessible only by boat or on foot. The unique combination of rugged desert terrain and shimmering water makes Lake Powell a captivating place for photography, adventure, and solitude.
