Rainbow Bridge

Staying at Lake Powell on a houseboat is the ultimate camping on the beach experience.  Hiking, fishing, swimming, kayaking, boating...all in the comfort of a mini house with fun friends or family.

Our last night there the kids all ran around catching glow-in-the-dark bubbles while the grown ups watched nervously, hoping there were no long lasting affects for our glowing children.  Later that night when everyone was sleeping, Teddy woke up and I looked over the edge of the boat at the water.  Had the glowing bubbles blown into the water?  I studied the water more and realized I was seeing the reflection of sparkling stars from the sky.

Half way through our week we took a boat ride over to Rainbow Bridge.  You can't see it from the water, but once we got to the right spot, and tied up our boat, it was only a third of a mile to hike up.

It's the biggest natural bridge in the world, sacred to the Navajo people,  and it was only discovered by the white man  in 1909.  That wasn't very long ago.

Very neat to see, I'm glad we went.
