13: Lake Powell vs Bear Lake

Are you a Lake Powell Mormon or a Bear Lake Mormon?

Utah has two great lakes that straddle the northern and southern borders — Lake Powell and Bear Lake. These two lakes are icons of aquatic recreation in Utah. Bear Lake is a natural deep blue body of water that is surrounded by cabins and raspberry shakes. Whereas Lake Powell is the beautiful bittersweet gem of the southwest created by flooding the temple-like Glen Canyon system. Abbey and Madison break down the intricacies of both lakes and the role they play in the Mormon imagination.
