After leaving California, we headed in Utah for one night and then criss-crossed the border between Arizona and Utah several times on the way to Page, Arizona.

What's there, you say? The famous Antelope Canyon! Normally you need advance reservations, but by selecting a combo tour of the Lower Canyon and a boat cruise of Antelope Canyon we were able to get in on short notice.

On the way, we stopped for a hike to the Toadstool Hoodoos at Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Short hike but interesting rock formations.

Large Hoodoo

 Family of hoodoos

Looks more like a giant penis than a toadstool!

See the doggie? He has a brown hat on!

We stayed at a lovely campground on Lake Powell at the marina in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.

 This is such a beautiful area of the country! I love the red rocks!

Next up: Lower Antelope Canyon

The descent

Lots of stairs!

The way out

We were awestruck by the colors and waves. Pictures don't do it justice!

On to the boat ride!

 A long walk down a very steep ramp to the marina!

These 75'  house boats are for rent at a mere $900 per day but they supposedly sleep a lot of people! But they rent by the week so it better be with people you like!

Antelope Canyon's walls are higher than ever because the water is so low.

And a long uphill walk back up. This earned us both a beer!
