Lake Powell

Page, Arizona was our next stop. When you first enter Page, you are greeted with the Glen Canyon Dam; this dam is responsible for Lake Powell. And is a beautiful area.

We found a few neat places to visit while in this area. The first was Horseshoe Bend. This is a natural bend in the Colorado River; and you don't get it's full effect until you're right up to it. There were some boats in the river; and they looked like tiny little spots from where we were.

This is where we also tried our first deep fried turkey. Our new neighbour treated us to one; and we enjoyed it so much; we had another one a few days later. Even though it was tasty; I still prefer the old fashioned way.

We also took a slot tour while in Page. The antelope slot is on Navajo land; and the only way to get to this amazing place is with a Navajo guide. Al, our guide, picked us up in a chevy suburban and off we went.

The slot canyon is only a couple of feet apart at it's widest and a few inches at it's closest. Here, mother nature worked her magic. This is probably the coolest slot canyon I've ever been in. The tour starts at the entrance to the slot; and from the first moment; you're awed by the beauty. Wind and water has shaped the inside of this canyon; and the shapes were incredible. The walk through was roughly and hour and when you get to the other end; you turn around and walk through again. And the shapes are totally different. It was pretty cool.

We also found ourselves on a hike in "cathederal wash". This dry wash starts out at road level; and drops a foot or two every 500 feet or so. As you walked along; the walls got higher and higher; and from the water, wind and stones working their magic; there was amazing details all around. We eventually go to a point where we had to turn back; as the drop was just too high. As it turned out, Mike had to help Molly up a few times on the hike back.

This whole area was beautiful and we really enjoyed our time here. Take a look at the posted pictures.
