Day 3 – Page, Arizona - November 21, 2010
We went to the Glen Canyon Dam this morning. The Glen Canyon Dam is the second largest dam on the Colorado River at Page, Arizona. The dam's main purpose includes generating electrical power, storing water for the arid southwestern United States, and providing water recreation opportunities.
Later in the morning we went on a tour of Antelope Canyon. It had rained during the night and it also drizzled in the morning so we thought perhaps our tour would be cancelled, but it wasn’t. It was fabulous! The pictures I posted are from inside the canyon. The lines on the canyon walls were formed by wind and water.
After our Antelope Canyon tour we headed to Williams, AZ. Traveling on Rt 89 we experienced a sand storm, snow, hail and rain!! Yes, that was really strange. It’s still snowing in Williams as I write this. We went to the town (really cute little town!) and ordered a pizza.

And another thing about the dam
Glen Canyon Dam also forms Lake Powell - the 2nd largest man-made body of water!
