Карточка снята с маленькой Сесны после небольшой грозы над озером Пауэл, расположенном на границе штатов Юта и Аризона. Озеро искусственное и второе по обьему после озера Мид. При его создании затопили около 700 каньонов, обьем воды 30 кубокилометров, глубина в отдельных местах больше 200 метров. Все озеро объявлено национальным парком и пользуется огромной популярностью у туристов.

Lake Powell is a reservoir on the Colorado River, straddling the border between Utah and Arizona (most of it, along with Rainbow Bridge, is in Utah). It is the second largest man-made reservoir in the United States behind Lake Mead, storing 24,322,000 acre feet (30 km³) of water when full. Lake Powell was created by the flooding of Glen Canyon by the controversial Glen Canyon Dam, which also led to the creation of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, a popular summer destination. The reservoir is named for explorer John Wesley Powell, a one-armed American Civil War veteran who explored the river via three wooden boats in 1869. In 1972, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area was established. It is public land managed by the National Park Service, and available to the public for recreational purposes. It lies in parts of Garfield, Kane, and San Juan counties in southern Utah, and Coconino County in northern Arizona.
