We continued cycling North toward Utah and enjoyed the scenic views of Sedona and the landscape as we neared the Grand Canyon.
What happened…
Amanda writes: We had seen pictures of Antelope Canyon as I’m sure most of us have in the world. It’s this magical place in a desert like atmosphere with deep canyons with amazing sunlight. We decided to splurge and do the Upper Antelope Canyon tour from town which was $68 USD per person. Way more than what we normally spend on sightseeing and worth every penny. I’ll let the pictures and Andrew tell you the story
Andrew writes:So we showed the Swiss how to wild-camp, just on the outskirts of Page. It was a really nice wild camp spot actually, away from the highway and overlooked Antelope Canyon. We had a few visitors out walking in the evening, but no one seemed that upset that we were camping there. It was close enough to town that I was able to ride down and get beer for all of us too.
The following morning we checked into our hotel because it was windy, cold, and it gave us a chance to go see the beautiful box canyons. There was an unplanned rendevous outside the Walmart as we all stocked supplies for the next leg through rugged Utah.
