That is a REALLYhot time of the year.
Are you planning to stay for the day? It's already 106* here in Vegas and I'm planning on going out on tuesday at Lake Mead for about 6 hours. Starting at 8 am!:D

Yes it will be warm, but I would not let that stop me. The lake will be full of many other boaters that also are not afraid of hot weather. You will want to be careful that you stay hydrated. When I go to Powell I pack a ton of water, sports drinks, and fresh fruit into my ice chest. Don't bother packing soda or anything alcoholic as those drinks will not properly hydrate you. Usually I need to buy another bag of ice around mid-day to keep my ice chest cold. Have fun! Powell is a small piece of heaven on earth.

Hows it going?

Well looking to find a week of good weather could be ready to leave as soon as the 22 of this month depending on if my girlfriend can get someone to watch her kids, just the two of us going up. Basically launching out of Waheap and plan on being on the river for at least 4 days just crusing and enjoying the river maybe we can hook up I can give you a exact day soon.
Take care
