OK, my thoughts: I would draw a big X through Lake Powell. It's really not that interesting or pleasant. It's going to be MUCH too hot to enjoy the lake, which by the way is heavily polluted, especially with recent low water levels.

Ditto on both of those. Lake Powell and the dam are drive thrus with maybe an hour or so touring the dam
