Hit the high seas on a quickie escape
Houseboating in Lake Powell
Visualize the red-rock-gilded Grand Canyon filled with 8.5-trillion gallons of turquoise-blue water and you’ll have a spot-on mental image of Lake Powell, the second largest man-made reservoir in the United States. Now imagine spending 3 or more days exploring this watery wonderland’s hidden coves, sandy beaches, and otherworldly sandstone formations on a luxe houseboat with 11 of your closest friends. You can rent your own floating party barge for 3 days – complete with waterslide, TV, outdoor gas grill, and enough beds for 6 to 12 people – from Lake Powell Resorts & Marinas for as little as $1,315.
