Canyon #3: Antelope ![]() Charlotte, Dan, and I left the twins with Uncle Bill and visited Antelope Canyon, which is run by the Navajo people. We rode to the canyon in open trucks with seats on opposite sides of each other and were a little concerned as all the other vehicles got further and further ahead of us on the sandy dried riverbed that is the road. We took a guided tour with Kerndale, who was very helpful with camera settings inside the dimly lit canyon. It’s kind of like a cave with skylights and the walls are beautiful shapes and striated colors created by wind and water. At times, there have been flash floods in the canyon, which are very dangerous, as people get trapped. We made it through ok and then followed our flute-playing guide back to the truck. Horseshoe Bend On our way out of Page, we did a short — but very hot — walk to Horseshoe Bend. This is a part of the Colorado River that curves almost into a circle. Walking to the edge, you see a drop almost straight down. There were no railings so it was a little scary. I kept the twins far from the edge! Little Colorado River Tribal Park We also stopped at a Navajo Nation Park that has some more sheer cliffs. It was really windy and we were glad our hats had straps! There were stalls where people were selling jewelry, etc., but we only bought bottles of water. Tom got an orange piece of paper that he carried around the rest of the day. He wanted the stack, but I told him he could only have one. We then continued to the Grand Canyon! July 6 - 8 Nevada - Las Vegas & Hoover Dam
