Hello from Arizona…

We just spent the last couple of weeks in one of the most awe-inspiring places we’ve ever been…northern Arizona. Our first stop was Lake Powell near Page, AZ. The lake is a gorgeous blue-green, surrounded by white/brown canyons and rocks. Looks kinda like Alaska but with rock glaciers instead of ice. Wow! We stayed right on the lake, which was the perfect place to try out my new inflatable paddleboard. (that’s me paddling around Lone Rock) We had a deliciously authentic Navajo dinner at “Into the Grand”, a local family-owned restaurant which included an awesome Navajo dance and music performance…I’ll post some great pics on Instagram soon. Finally, we took a boat ride through Antelope and Navajo Canyons (stunning places), and Fisher and I hiked over to see Horseshoe Bend at sunset (see pic). Another major Wow!! 

Of course, no trip to Arizona is complete without a visit to the Grand Canyon. We’ve seen lots (I mean, LOTS) of canyons on this trip but nothing compares to the grandest of them all! We visited the south rim and hiked about 4-5 miles of the rim trail from South Kaibab to Mather Point on to the Yavapai Geology Museum. It was pretty crowded but worth tolerating the annoying tourists. Ha! (Fisher says we’re not ‘tourists’…we’re ‘adventurers’…I like that)

Next stop… Sin City! Glitter Gulch! LAS VEGAS!

Peace & love, KP

… more from Utah

Almost forgot! While we were in Moab, we visited 2 National Parks…Canyonlands and Arches..that were equally as spectacular as the parks in southwestern Utah. This picture was taken at the rim of one of the amazing canyons in Canyonlands. Look behind us and you’ll see a trail…it starts at the very top of the canyon and winds down to the bottom. It’s called the Shafer Trail (click HERE for a link on dangerousroads.org…yikes!!). We drove it in my Jeep Cherokee…complete with kayaks on top…and it was soooo scary! Single lane with sheer cliffs and super steep drop offs…whoa! If you’re in the Moab area and you have a 4-wheel-drive, go drive the Shafer Trail. Too much fun.

Take care, y’all… KP
