blueskyjohn Says: Only a few minutes outside of Page within the Navajo Nation is Antelope Slot canyon. This is a great 1/2 day trip. The best time of year to visit the slot is June or July. The sun is at the right angle to create fantastic rays shining through the top.You cannot access the...

MATIM Says: Time has given shape to the magnificent canyons. Over the years , the rock was molded by the rain and the wind to form this overwhelming beautiful canyon.Mostly dry, flash floods may occur, especially after the rain.And the colors of the rocks change according to the...
MATIM Says: We gathered in open jeeps with narrow benches, you wobble up and down at every bump in the road and eat sand driving through the dessert direction Canyon :)The weather was wonderful and we all had a lot of fun in that jeep.Arriving at the canyon I noticed a parking lot with...
MATIM Says: We had to wait for a few hours, so we decided to grap a bite at the KFC.I never saw so many fastfood restaurants than in the USA!After our lunch we walked around, found a terrace were we had some drinks.What I noticed in the USA is that you hardly have to ask for the bill,...
MATIM Says: At the office, the lady told us that all the tours for that day were booked, so we had to wait till the next day.That was a real bummer because of a tight schedule we wouldn't be able to make it the next day.However, a few minutes later an Italian couple came in and were...
MATIM Says: At noon we arrived at our hotel (Best Western Arizona Inn)The receptioniste told us we could not check in yet. We had to come back at 3 PM. After I got myself a brochure of the company that provide the Antelope canyon tours, we decided to go into the city.We drove to Page, a...
MATIM Says: Before going on our trip to the USA, people in the Netherlands told us, if we had the time and were in the neighbourhood, not to forget to pay a visit at the Antelope canyon.I found a lady on VT who gives you a guide tour through the canyon. I wrote her and watched all the...
BruceDunning Says: This is an easy 2 mile round trip hike down a sandy path, and along the Colorado River. The views on the hike are wonderful. There are ruins of homes from when John Lee ran the ferry across the river. That time frame was 1871-1910. Even after that, the ferry still operated...

blueskyjohn Says: Always check the forecast when planning any activity in and around Page slot canyons. Even the lightest of rain can be devastating. Also, it may not rain where you are but up stream and will have the same, if not worse effect. Here is information as an example where 11...
BruceDunning Says: This is a ground cover in the desert areas that allows plants to grow, It contains algae, fungi, moss, lichens that all make up a sort of plant food for plants. It also secures to ground from erosion. So the warning is not to step off trails, and especially on this type soil
BruceDunning Says: This huge land area of 45-50 miles in all directions has few roads, and none paved going through it. It is 293,000 acres; or 457 square miles. That is big. The cliffs that rise straight up to 3,000 feet, are a long expansive stretch of red/white cliff buttes that ring the...
BruceDunning Says: I read about these pools, and decided to try and find them for a drive in, and hike the rest of the way to get to them. They are located close to a marker and plaques designating the exploration of Escalante Dominguez here in 1776. Turn between mile marker 557/558 onto a...
BruceDunning Says: You could spend a lot of time looking for condors around the area. There are not that many yet, and the population will probably be limited due to the sparse pickings to eat. One area is to the west edge of Vermilion Cliffs; about 90 miles form Page. Another is to look...
blueskyjohn Says: Disposing of human waste....fun times, lol
OK, not anyones favorite subject, but it is especially important when backpacking in the slot canyons around the Page area. You are required to pack out your waste. The best way I've found to do this is cheap and odorless.Go to...
blueskyjohn Says: The Paria is about 45 minutes outside of Page. There are two ways that are popular to backpack the Paria. If you enter from the Rangers station, the total hike is 37 miles one way. I have always done the Paria from Buckskin Gulch which cuts out about 7 miles of the Paria,...
blueskyjohn Says: Buckskin Gulch is about 45 minute to an hour west of Page on the Utah/Arizona border. You do have to travel down a dirt road to access the trailhead. There is an area to camp at the trailhead and many people hiking the Paria River will opt to enter at Buckskin for a more...
BruceDunning Says: Ask what they are. These are actual balls that are created over some unbelievable period of time, and found in the rock face, mostly on slick rock. The balls are formed form sand blowing/rolling along the rock over millenium, and accumulating, or attaching to iron in the...

No, I'm not stuttering. This is a page about the city of Page in northern Arizona. It's a small city you barely wouldn't find if it would not be on the route between Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon. As...
Last week I wanted to stop in Page and see the great things I had passed up on my prior trips.
I love the great red rocks - Navajo sandstone. Picture perfect in various lighting.
The first thing on...
