Spending a week at Lake Powell, I know where the hoodoos are but generally speaking, when is the best light found in the area?

For the first group of hoodoos, I find that about one hour after sunrise during late Spring/Summer/early Autumn is just right in order to catch direct sun upon the hoodoos and the bluish cast from the sky on the shaded white wall that backs them.
See this recent image in ES&S for more info.

Due to the high walls surrounding the wash, first and last light of the day don't catch any of the three hoodoo groups.
