Navajo Tapestry

Nov 3/16  Weather sunny high about 69, low 48.  We are still loving this fall Indian Summer temperatures here in Page, Arizona.  While staying at the Lake Powell Resort and RV - Wahweap Campground which is on Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, we are taking the opportunity to view the narrow, colorful, and sculpted geology of the lower end of Lake Powell.   The Lake Powell Resort Lodge just down the road has a marina and boat cruises available and staying in the campground we were given a 10% off coupon.  We both agreed we may never get the chance to do this again without fighting off throngs of tourists so we booked the only boat tour available on Thursday.  Once again it was better than we ever thought -  the boat circles around Glen Canyon Dam on Lake Powell then heads 4 miles down the high-walled Navajo Sandstone water arm of Antelope Canyon.  The trip last about 1 1/2 hours and was really worthwhile.  Trying to pick out a few pictures to post is incredibly hard, they are all so beautiful.  The dark stained coloring on the sides of the canyon walls is referred to as "Navajo Tapestry".
