Grand Canyon

Posted by Aleksey on Jun 30, 2009 in Uncategorized

We arrived at the Grand Canyon at a pretty decent time. We stopped at a few scenic points and even saw a rattle snake at the visitor’s center. There were lots of people at the park, a lot more than in any other one we have been in. We decided to take the shuttle bus to the last scenic point and then do a spirited 5.5 mile hike back to Hopi point, which is where the best views of the sunset are. The hike was relatively simple (smooth, level ground) and we were able to cover this distance in two hours. We arrived at Hopi point, found a non crowded spot, and had some snacks and water while watching the sun set over the tremendous canyon.

Antelope Canyon

Posted by Aleksey on Jun 30, 2009 in Uncategorized

After getting our fill of water activities on Lake Powell, we decided to spend another night at the same campsite. The next morning we took a tour to cave in Antelope Canyon. We got driven in a truck with humongous tires. Antelope Canyon is on Apache territory so the only way to see it is through this type of tour. Our guide took us into the canyon and provided some history and even took photos for us with our camera. It was a very beautiful and mesmerizing place indeed.
