Because the Lake, even the small part that we saw, is so huge, it makes meaningful pictures nearly impossible. Therefore, look on these pictures as an exercise in colors and textures, which the Lake provides in limitless profusion. Please note that the white band above the waterline in these pictures varies in width from 50 to 90 feet. It is the result of salts leaching into the sandstone when the water level in the Lake was higher.

Arch for Robert!
From the water to the Butte.
That Butte is about 1500 feet high.
Guess Who!Factoid for the day: While both Mesas and Buttes are formations that are flat on top and rise sharply from their surroundings, a Mesa is wider than it is tall, while a Butte is taller than it is wide!
On to the Grand Canyon tomorrow!
