If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to visit another planet, this Deal of the Day will be right up your alley. If you prefer not to use your alley for such, how about your driveway?

Named after famed, western explorer, John Wesley Powell, Lake Powell is one of the most incredible man-made formations in the world.

It is technically a freshwater reservoir, the result of damming the Colorado River and flooding Glen Canyon. If you’re unfamiliar with Lake Powell, imagine Arches National Park and Monument Valley submerged. That’s basically what you’re getting with this amazing desert locale. It is the second largest man made freshwater reservoir in all of the United States, second to only Lake Mead in southwest Nevada.

Today’s Deal of the Day is a hook up to one of the Lake’s most prestigious resorts, the Lake Powell Resort, just off the Wahweap Marina. This resort is on the lake, and will present you with easy access to watercraft rental or water activities. You only need to venture out the front door to enjoy the spectacular view and landscape.

This deal is offered through Kayak, and will hook you up with a room and all resort amenities for $139/night. Use the Promo Code: LPKAYAK

This travel is available through the year’s end, and if you’d like to getaway to the perfection of the high desert in the fall, average high temperatures in September are in the upper 80s, and in October, the upper 70s. These off-peak dates will also ensure you can score a nice piece of the lake for yourself, as well as some potential deals on watercraft.
