Lake Powell, the "Man-Made Sea of the Southwest", is listed as one of the "1,000 Places to See Before You Die" in Patricia Schultz's recently released second edition of the book.
"Imagine the Grand Canyon and then fill it with water," Schultz wrote, noting that Lake Powell is the second largest man-made lake in America, with "turquoise waters that shimmer like a mirage in the red rock country of northern Arizona and southern Utah."
The author also calls Page " the busy gateway town" where sea kayaks and houseboats can be rented and where accomodations are available.
Schultz cites Rainbow Bridge as a must-see landmark, calling it a site of "deep spiritual significance to the Navajo," and noting it's claim to fame as being the largest natural arch in the world.
Finally, she discusses the "exquisite 600-acre property of the famously high-service " Amangiri . Schultz said "Ancient Navajo traditions are incorporated into its spa's extensive offerings."
Other Arizona landmarks included in Schultz's "1,000 Places to See Before You Die" are the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley and golfing in the Valley of the Sun.
The 2011 release of thus New York Times Bestseller inlcludes 200 new entries.
