Page, AZ

Yesterday was our weekly trip to civilization (aka shopping). This week was to Page with stops at Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend. Both were very beautiful. Photos can be seen at either SmugMug or Picasa Web.

We had made Antelope Canyon tour reservations with a company called Antelope Canyon Tours, but upon arrival in Page, we soon discovered our mistake. This company's philosophy is to cram as many tourists through the canyon as possible. Although the canyon was quite beautiful, it was very busy. Lot's of tours and tripods! We later learned that a couple of smaller tour operators provided a much more intimate inspection of the canyons (Overland Canyon Tours appeared to be one of the small operators - www.overlandcanyontours.com). Also, there is an opportunity to be on your own in the Lower Antelope. We'll try the Lower Canyon next time - take a look at this photo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Lower_Antelope_Canyon_entrance_01.jpg).
