Kayaking and Hiking in Labyrinth Canyon, Lake Powell

Labyrinth Canyon is on Lake Powell and is only accessable by the water. If you come here in anything but a kayak, you'll be swimming quite a distance to get to dry land. This area is located on the Arizona / Utah Border, about 15 miles from the Glen Canyon dam.

Very interesting journey,Jack. The red rock formations must have been incredible in person.
I think I would have had claustrophobia in the narrow confines of the canyon.
