Near Lake Powell, there is a gash in the earth about a mile down the hill that draws visitors to it. On reaching the rim, it’s completely understandable. There are many gorgeous photographs on the web of the Colorado River’s entire Horseshoe Bend, but I wasn’t going to stand any closer to the edge to capture it. This will have to do.

A Change of Pace
Yes, this is still our Arizona-Utah National Parks trip (will it ever end, you ask? Not quite yet..!) We changed our pace for several days in Page, AZ, enjoying Lake Powell and the Glen Canyon National Recreation area. After the desert landscapes of Utah, it was impossible not to be captured by the water. We opted for a boat cruise into narrow, winding Antelope Canyon to see its red and orange Navajo sandstone formations, and got caught in the rain you see threatening us. Kayakers in the canyon were also pummeled, which seems to be a price one pays for adventuring on the lake. The afternoon cleared into a beauty of an evening.
