Page

Page Horseshoe Bend
This is the entrance to the Horseshoe Bend Overlook hiking trail
Page Horseshoe Bend
As you hike the 1.25 miles, the scenery is incredibly beautiful...

This is a quick look to the right

Page Horseshoe Bend
And now the prize! The way the river warps around, it looks surreal...And the colors of blue-green against the red rock are so beautiful...

Just be careful not to fall leaning over to admire the view - there is no gate and it's a long way down....

Page Another scenic view is just west of highway 89. Park your car and take the many rock steps down...
Page A bit further on the path...
Page And finally you reach the Colorado River, snaking its way through the rock. Beautiful!

Lake Powell

Page Lake Powell is a sight to behold - ancient rock formations surrounding deep blue water.
And at sunset the warm, vibrant hues cast on the rocks really make this stark landscape come alive - so beautiful!!
Page While there, I took a boat ride to view the inside crevices of the lake
Page Deeper and deeper we go...
Page This spot in particular I found mesmerizing...It almost looks like ancient carvings could be found in these "windows"...
Page Remember the original Planet of the Apes? - when the spaceship crashed? Lake Powell was the filming location (although further north in Utah)
Page Another shot - this place is so amazing
Page Notice how reflective the water is...like a mirror...
Page One the shore, the rocks look like they were once clay and swirled ridges were carved in them...
Page The same area, looking back. You feel like you're on another planet here...
Page This is the dam, on the south end of the Lake. I love this view, since it has that ancient-yet-futuristic look...Clean-lined magnanimous structures, devoid of people, set against an other-worldly landscape...

Vermillion Cliffs

Vermillion Cliffs On the way to Page from Highway 89, you can veer off westward to Highway 89A, a scenic road takign you along the Vermillion Cliffs, and eventully to the Boulders and othere scenic spots.
This a sweeping view of the Vermillion Cliffs and surrounding area.
Vermillion Cliffs As you drive along Highway 89A, you'll eventually come to Cliff Dwellers, where these incredibly huge boulders are perched motionless on the dirt
Vermillion Cliffs Another shot - looks like they could just roll down any second!

Antelope Canyon

Antelope Canyon is a sight to behold! This marvel of nature was found many decades ago by a young girl looking for a lost cow. What a find!

From the outside it doen't look like much - just a curvacious groove through the red rock from top to bottom. But step inside and it's a wonder to experience. Red rock swirls around you as you walk in a snake-like path deeper and deeper into the canyon. Far above you the sky is barely visible through a winding crevice, through which ethereal sunrays stretch down and illuminate the walls...
