Day 13 - Kanab to Kayenta

After a day long break in Kanab, resting and recuperating from miles of car travel and walking, we set out toward Kayenta, a small town just south of Monument Valley. On the way, we made a brief stop at the Grand Staircase- Escalante visitor's center, where they had an interesting dinosaur display. Then we crossed over the Colorado River at Glen Canyon toward Page, where we were meeting our tour for the Antelope Slot Canyon. The group ended up being five small buses, with our crazy but excellent driver who took us along the deep sand creek bed from the highway three miles into the canyon entrance. She went as fast as she could, dipping and sliding through all the sand. It was a ride to remember.
Then we toured the famous slot canyon, which is only about 660 feet long. Pretty fantastic sites along this narrow pathway.
After this, we got on the road toward our destination. This brought us up and up, and as a weather system moved in, it changed from rainy sprinkles to large flake snow. Visibility was low, but we made it. We tried going to the Navajo National Monument, but we just couldn't see through the blowing snow.Read more
