Through Navajo Canyon: A 3.5‑Hour Cruise Along Towering Red Walls to the 50/50 Wall and Glen Canyon Dam.
Step aboard at Lake Powell Resort and let the boat do the work: over 3.5 hours you cruise deep into Navajo Canyon, where 600‑foot sandstone walls rise in bands of red and burnt orange, the so‑called Navajo Tapestry of desert varnish, and unique features such as the 50/50 Wall and the imposing Glen Canyon Dam come into view.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Navajo Canyon’s Sandstone Walls
The canyon’s Navajo Sandstone towers above the water—walls that reach roughly 600 feet and display desert varnish known locally as the Navajo Tapestry—creating the defining red‑rock theater of the cruise.
The 50/50 Wall
A striking visual quirk of Lake Powell: the 50/50 Wall where the vertical dimension above you mirrors the depth below, a memorable moment on the route.
Glen Canyon Dam Views
The tour provides a close‑in vantage of Glen Canyon Dam—the second largest concrete arch dam in the United States—anchoring the human imprint on this rugged landscape.
