Lake Powell and Antelope Canyon

Lake Powell has 96 Canyons--the guide says--"for sheer spectacle there is no other lake like Lake Powell"   We can believe that!  We just saw one canyon--Antelope.  This morning with our Navaho guide we descended into the dry end of this canyon--going down about 3 stories to the sand bottom.  Also known as Slot canyon--the one hour trip through it was incredible, with the rock all swirled after years of water flowing thru it.  I took 150 pictures!!!   Last Saturday they had a bit of rain here and the canyon where we were walking had about 5 ft of water in it!!!   Needless to say we went on a nice sunny day with no sign of rain!!  Then this afternoon we rented a 2 person kayak and went up Antelope canyon from the lake all the way to where the water stopped.   Had we had lots of time--we actually could have hiked up to where we had been walking this morning.    It took us about 2 1/2 hrs of paddling to complete the trip and other than sore and wet bums, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience.  We think we will head out in the morning--to more adventures--we hope.
