Lake Powell behind Glen Canyon Dam Bridge - Page Arizona
On our camping trip to Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon National Park, we made several stops along the way.
This is the view from the Carl Hayden Visitor Center at the Glen Canyon Dam looking out over the dam and Lake Powell.

This is the Dam that got Edward Abbey so damn riled up. :)
"Desert Solitaire, Abbey's fourth book and first non-fiction work, was published in 1968. In it, he describes his stay in the canyonlands of southeastern Utah from 1956-1957.[21] Desert Solitaire is regarded as one of the finest nature narratives in American literature, and has been compared to Aldo Leopold's A Sand County Almanac[citation needed] and Thoreau's Walden.[22] In it, Abbey vividly describes the physical landscapes of Southern Utah and delights in his isolation as a back country park ranger, recounting adventures in the nearby canyon country and mountains. He also attacks what he terms the "industrial tourism" and resulting development in the national parks ("national parking lots"), rails against the Glen Canyon Dam, and comments on various other subjects.[citation needed]"
