Adventures of NaDave: 1-year Anniv Utah

We awoke...and sand was everywhere! In our ears, in our shoes, covering our sleeping bags and backpacks. We looked at each other and laughed, this was a first! We've camped in a lot of conditions, but never blowing sand.

We packed up and headed for Page Arizona for our Antelope Canyon Tours. Despite the Antelope Tours best efforts to confuse time zones, we arrived on time. In fact we were a little early, so we rushed into town to get details on a Lake Powell sunset cruise.

We got back for our first tour, Lower Antelope tour. We walked down into the Canyon, and narrowly navigated the twists and turns. It was beautiful to see it up close, and fun to see different colors and shapes around each corner.

Our next tour was Upper Antelope tour. We left in SUVs and drove down a long sandy wide road that felt like the middle east. When we arrived, there were other trucks that looked like Indiana Jones. We again walked through the canyon, and this one was particularly famous from the National Geographic cover image.

When the tour ended, we headed towards Lake Powell and caught the sunset cruise. We learned about Glen Canyon Dam as well as the lake (it took 17 years to fill!). We relaxed on the boat ride and enjoyed the sights.

We then checked into our hotel and ordered some yummy italian food. Calzones for everyone. We ended the night writing some postcards and reading up sights to come.
