Can't Get Enough of Arizona

We had a few days to "kill" before we were heading to Moab/Arches in Utah so we decided to stay a few more days in Arizona and pointed the RV towards Page, AZ: Glen Canyon National Park home of Lake Powell, Antelope Canyon and Vermilion Cliffs National Monument.

Our campsite was located inside of Glen Canyon National Park and we had a great view of Lake Powell. After we got settled in (which takes all of about 15 minutes) we took a tour around the campground, had the Jeep on the Beach, checked out the fishing pier and cleaning stations (looks like the fish were biting, next trip Troy) and had a few beers at the lodge inside the park where we met a few locals who provided us with some trails to take the following day.

The following morning we headed to Antelope Lower Canyon and it was breathtaking! After we trudged through a sandstorm we were astonished to see the way the light danced through the sandstone canyon. Troy took some amazing photos, here are just a few:





We then headed towards the Vermilion Cliffs to take a hike into the mountains but the wind was too much so instead we took a scenic drive around the area. The Jeep was getting blown all over the road, not the leisurely scenic drive we were hoping for but the cliffs and mountains in the area were all around us, beautiful drive anyhow. We made it so close to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon (which is so far away from the South Rim so it was really cool to be there) but the North Rim does not open until mid-May due to snow, we were a month too early! :(

Lake Powell and the Glen Canyon Dam are amazing, next visit Lisa wants to rent a house boat and tool around the lake. The lake is surrounded by the Canyon's and it is so interesting to see all the different colors and shapes at every turn.

Thanks for the recommendation for hitting the Page Area Aunt Sherri, it was a great stop on the tour!
