The Great Southwest Road Trip, part II

On Monday we drove across southern Utah to Navajoland near Page, AZ. This “eco retreat” was honestly what I had built the whole trip around - I knew something magical would happen here, and I wasn’t wrong (see next post). We checked in to our earth hogan and explored the vast grounds, watched lightning from a ridge, and had dinner in Page. 

The next day we were lucky to get to tour Antelope Canyon. All of the Navajo Nation parks and attractions had been closed since March of 2020 and had just opened days before, so our timing was spot on. Our guide enhanced some of these pictures with color filters, but boy even without it was pretty spectacular.

Then we had an abbreviated swim in Lake Powell at Lone Rock until thunderstorms made us get out and drive back to the hogan. We stopped at the horseshoe bend overlook for some great views. The next day we would kayak this bend.
