We drove to Page, Arizona today to see Antelope Canyon----a 'slot canyon' that has been formed by water and sand moving through massive rocks. The canyon is on a Navajo Reservation so you are required to go through the canyon with a guide. It is about a 3 mile ride on benches in the back of a pick-up truck through a dry, sandy river bed to get to the opening of the canyon, which was sort of an a adventure in itself! Apparently flash floods can occur down this river bed and through the canyon whenever they get a lot of rain north of the canyon!---while we were at the far end of the canyon our guide told us the story of a flash flood in 2009 that killed 9 guests in the lower portion of the canyon! We were in the upper portion, but still a bit unnerving!
The sights were amazing--below is my attempt at capture some of them---still alot to learn about essentially 'cave' photos!
Saw a sign on the road stating 'Deer migration'--have never seen one of those before and not too many miles later we actually had about 5 deer in the road ahead!
Tonight was trick or treat night in Glendale--on my walk I saw Pipi Longstocking, a clown, an alien and two fully outfitted cowboys! (I think it was their own clothes!)--brought back lots of good memories!
Resting in Glendale, Utah...Debbie and John
