At Glen Canyon Dam


I'm so afraid of heights that it is a wonder that I enjoyed being at the Carl Hayden Visitor Center overlooking Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell. Maybe it was the bookstore's juried selection of Western and desert children's books and natural history reading. Maybe it's because I always admired Carl Hayden as a legislator. Maybe it was because there's a glassed in area where I didn't feel my legs turns to mush. And maybe, just maybe, it was because the weather was perfect -- cool temperatures, sunny skies,  and a balmy breeze

At any rate, the dam and the Glen Canyon Recreation Area were a big hit in my book.
