Monday, 16 June, 2014 We left Bonita Campground just after 8:30, which is really early for us. The winds are really kicking and are expected to be worse this afternoon. We got set up at Ten X Campground in Kaibab National Forest, just south of Tusayan near the Grand Canyon. What a beautiful campground, mostly pine trees, with paved roads and vault toilets. Definitely bare-bones camping, but it is only $5/night, a real bargain this close to the canyon. We drove into the Grand Canyon National Park and, after parking at the visitor center, rode the orange route bus to several overlooks where Sean got his first sight of the Grand Canyon. We got exclamations of “awesome” every place we stopped. It's gratifying to share some of our favorite places with him and to have him ... read more

Geo: 36.9086, -111.473Glenn Canyon National Recreation Area near Page, AZ has been the site of many movies.Why? Because the scenery is SOOOOOOO spectacular.Check out the following link if you are curious about which movies were filmed there : "Movies and the Lake Powell Connection: http://www.lakepowellrealty.net/lake-powell-movies/ We had agreed to meet Sky and Bobbi at Lone Rock camping, kayaking and generally having a good time. We got there about lunchtime, and they arrived shortly afterward. They had wanted to camp close to the water so it would be easy to get our boats in and out of the water. We found a spot we thought would be nice and when they arrived they thought so as well.We met Sky and Bobbi down in Mexico in 2008 in the old silver mining town of Alamos. We had a ... read more

Saturday morning began at 4:45 a.m. as the sun began to shine through the bedroom window. Not wanting to wake Cynde so early, I headed outside to read the Oklahoman and soak in the early morning sunlight! It was beautiful, looking over Lake Powell and it’s still blue waters. Not much activity that early. By 5:45 a.m., I was making sufficient noise so as to wake Cynde. Since we had the alarms set for 6 a.m., I didn’t feel too bad. I thought that we could hit town to scope out a breakfast place before we hit the river for our float trip. Cynde hopped out of bed rather uncharacteristically. She was ready for the day’s adventure, so off to Page we headed. We made the round of town once, and not finding the perfect breakfast ... read more

I traveled on my honeymoon to page and we went from there to Glen Canyon dam via the tunnel, we started from the bottom of the dam to Horseshoe bend and on our way we took a 3 min break to see the native american old drawings. It was an amazing trip... read more

The first picture of this entry is called the "Monument Valley of Antelope"...and yes, I don't have a tripod which would have made all these pictures way better. You could visit on your own Antelope Canyon till the middle of the 1970s...than from there...it was only group visits organized by the local Navajo tribe. Result, this visit set us back to 76usd for three of us...and this is low season...76usd for 2 hours, but wow, this place is amazing! Let's first come back to Page. The city is just over 40 years old, and it's nothing else than a stop for Powell Lake, Horseshoe Bend, Antelope Canyon...or further the Grand Canyon and in the opposite direction Monument Valley. There is a huge dam...a beautiful lake...due to the lake...and an horrible plant which I guess is a ... read more
