Antelope Canyon

Monday - 4 April 2005 - Page, Arizona: Again, we woke to warm weather! But it was VERY windy and the radio was predicting gust to 45 mph until 7 pm. DT had booked a guided tour to Antelope Canyon as our adventure of the day. Antelope Canyon is a "slot" canyon - just a little crack in the earth that is slowly being carved out by rain flooding through the canyon. It is an amazing place. It is on The Nation, and was "found" by a now-85-year-old woman, Mary. Mary was (I'm not kidding) looking for her little lambs when she discovered the opening to this slot canyon and found it filled with antelope. Her daughters still guide through the canyon.

We spent about one hour and walked the entire length of the Antelope Canyon - about 300 yards long. I have taken so many photos, and I will post way too many here:

Way too many photos taken inside Antelope Canyon

After our fabulous tour, we stopped back in town to see the Plesiosaur skeleton they had on exhibit at the Page John Wesley Powell Museum (not to be confused with the John Wesley Powell museum we saw last week in Green River, Utah). had lunch at the Marina and came back to the campground in a terrible wind/sand/rain storm!
