Have you been to… or heard of Alstrom Point?  It’s on the back side of Lake Powell, north of Page.  We have seen photos of this amazing place and wanted to check it out for ourselves. If you go to Page, continue west to Big Water.  Stop at Big Water Visitor Center for a fascinating education in this dinosaur rich area, with over 4000 dinosaur’s being discovered just in the last 10 years, many newly discovered species.  They’ll give you a detailed map on how to get to Alstrom Point.  But essentially it’s behind Big Water along a long 2 hour dirt road.

The overlook was nothing short of stunning.

We camped out so we could get sunset, sunrise, and star photos.  We enjoyed it so much, we stayed 2 nights.  It was one of those magical moments that you remember for a life time.  Watching the full moon rise over the lake was fantastic.  This orange ball rose just behind Gunsight Butte, lighting up the sky like it burst into flames.

Because we were there 2 nights we got to do sunrise and sunset, as well as night stars.

Pictures don’t do it justice.  It was a fabulous couple days.
