Took a 50 mile ride up Lake Powell to Rainbow Bridge. The scenery is not to be believed. Pink canyon walls, mesas, buttes, and pinnacles (starts out as a mesa, erosion makes it a butte, and maybe it becomes a pinnacle). The occasional houseboat is chugging along pulling an outboard motor or skiddoo so they can explore the myriad side canyons. A short ride up one of those canyons takes you to the jumping off point for Rainbow Bridge, which is impressive. Next day we took an early morning hike to Horseshoe Bend in the CO river, which is just what it sounds like. Temp at 8 am was already in the mid 80s, forecast to mid 90s. Then we took a guided hike to Antelope Canyon, a very narrow slot canyon where the light filters in from above and produces an eerie sort of glow. Very crowded with photographers. A big money makers for the Navajo. Then visited Glen Canyon Dam, saw a few movies and toured the dam. A bit smaller than the Hoover Dam. Temp pushing 100 degrees.
I continue to be envious of all your adventures, and of that nice heat. Although I can't complain, we've had a few hot ones here and have even gotten the pool out a few times. Keep writing, I'll keep reading!
