On The Road Again

So, I have been doing the three day trips with JTB (Japanese Tour Bureau). What a fast and beautiful trip. Starting out with picking them up at the airport, then we head up to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. This is a spectacular view. We usually stay in Tusayan (several very nice hotels) then get up for sun rise in the morning. After that, breakfast, helicopter flights and off to the next destination, Monument Valley. We head out the East end as we leave the park and that is where I always see the deer and the elk. The elk, what a huge and interesting animal.

Day 2 consists of leaving the South rim of the Grand Canyon and heading out to Monument Valley, right on the boarder of Utah and Arizona. I had no idea what was waiting there in Monument Valley. Incredible mountain/cliffs that were just awesome. There are only two places to stay, Gouldings or The View. So far, I have only stayed at Gouldings, but you cant miss. Hotter than hot though, no matter where you stay.

So this is my view of Lake Powell and also of the Colorado River just below Glen Canyon Dam. This area was day 3 of my 3-day trip. We began in Monument Valley and headed out to Page Arizona for the Antelope Canyon Jeep Tour. I believe Brian did this with the Young Adults once as well. But, I love going back to Page. We have had some wonderful vacations here at Lake Powell.
