A site of Nature to behold

There are many thing in life that just astound, amaze, and humble me.  The laughter of a child, watching an Eagle soar above, the playing of the National Anthem, and the birth of a new baby. Recently, some out of state guests visited us. We drove to outside of Page AZ. to see one of God's and Mother Nature's wonders, Antelope Canyon. It is on the Navajo Nation Reservation and they operate tours under ground and through the slot canyon which has been craved with water and wind in the sandstone canyon.

It takes a little less than a hour to walk through the swirls and curves of the canyon probably 50 feet below the surface of extremely fine reddish-orange residue sand. Guided by a Navajo, he described the forming and heritage of their native lore to us, along with some of Navajo history and beliefs. One image was the lady in the wind. Another was a Buffalo head.

 

There were stairs and ladders to climb but always with rails to stabilize your climbs up and down. Nancy and I were there some 10 years ago when the company just started. Since then the visitor ship has jumped tremendously, but still amazing the second time. When I asked our visiting guests what they thought about our tour, they could only answer "WOW". And I agree it is a WOW moment.

If you get a chance to go to Antelope Canyon, just south of Page AZ and Lake Powell, I suggest you make arrangement to spend the night or two in Page and get reservations ahead of time for  the cooler months. I promise it will WOW you too.

Nancy and I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas a Happy and healthy New Year. May God bless you all, take care and stay safe.
