Let me start off by saying that we have only been out here for a few days, but we have seen enough to fill a full vacation! This morning we headed out from Utah through the grand staircase into Arizona toward the Lake Powell area. What a bizarre little place! Close your eyes and picture it with me: desert...desert...desert...gigantic blue lake - what??? Very strange indeed. Well, we didn't pay the fee to actually go to the lake, but we did view it from afar. "Jacques Cousteau" and I walked down to a "scenic viewpoint" and left the trail to try and find a rattlesnake. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) we did not find one, but we did see 3 different lizards.
Basically, we were just killing time because we had a 1:30 reservation for the tour at Antelope Canyon. It's a slot canyon, which means that it's sort of a narrow slot cut into the red rock. Antelope Canyon is owned by the Navajo Nation, and they do not let anyone hike into it without a guide, hence the need for the tour. This is one of the most visited canyons by photographers because of the beautiful colors created by the light shining in from the top and reflecting off of the canyon walls. It was absolutely gorgeous, and we got some really good pictures.

Now we're just chilling in Page, which is a strange little town in the middle of the desert (just like every other town we've seen so far). :)
