Hello Everyone, Had a busy day in the Arizona heat today. Got up to 100 today, supposed to be 104 tomorrow. But I spent most of the day on the water, so it was only bad when I had to get back in the HOT car. There is no shade out here. Started the day by going through a two mile tunnel to the base of the Glen Canyon Dam. There I boarded a raft for a smooth water float down the Colorado River. The picture below is of the Dam and bridge as we began our trip. It was a beautiful trip down the river. The walls of the canyon as high as 1400 feet above us on both sides. We were on the river for about three hours. Below is a picture of the Vermillion Cliffs at Lees Ferry where we ended our trip. It was a 23 mile trip down the river. But a 50 mile ride by bus to get back to Page. Next I took a tour of the Glen Canyon Dam. We walked out onto the Dam. The picture below is of the Colorado River and the bridge from the top of the dam. If you look in the picture above, the blue specks on the left canyon wall are the rafts where we began our river trip. On the other side of the dam is Lake Powell. This is where I began my boat trip on Lake Powell. Below are pictures of Antelope Canyon, the highlight of the Lake Powell Cruise. Below is a picture of Lake Powell itself from the cruise. And the cruise ended as we sailed by the Glen Canyon Dam. This time you can see it from the Lake Powell side where the water is 540 feet deep. That's the last dam picture. It was a fun day. It's back to the Grand Canyon tomorrow. This time the South Rim. Until tomorrow, Tim |
