Day 6 we went for a swim in Lake Powell. We then went to the Glen Canyon Dam, where someone gave us all sorts of information on Lake Powell, the dam and the Colorado River. She knew a lot more than the average worker, since she actually wasn't an employee of the dam. She told us lots of the Environmental issues with the dam, and how the native fish are endagered due tot he fact that the dam regulates the river temperature at too low of a temperature. It was really neat that she was able to share with us the nagatives of the dam. We also watched a video there, and then piled on the bus. On our drive that day we drove by "Hole-in-a-Rock"... "Mexican Hat" and that evening we camped at the Grand Canyon (which we went to the lookout to check it out at sunset). That night was very subdued and everyone went to bed early. The next day was the big hike.
