The scenary outside of the grand canyon national park was astounding to say the least. We drove in the shadow of sheer red cliffs for quite a while. We saw a particularly large hole in the ground which isn't labeled in our atlas so we decided to stop and take a look. Also there was a big sign that read "really really good" so we knew that we couldn't skip the opportunity.
Jeff chatted up an older fellow from Japan, in Japanese, whom was riding his bike coast to coast by himself. We continued onwards about a mile down the road only to notice that the view of this unlabeled hole in the ground had improved vastly. We pulled off at anothe stop. We questioned the intention of the "really really good" sign. Because in fact this stop was most excellent. We ran on down a trail to a rocky outcropping that provided a full round view of this chasm. Impressive.
Our primary destination today was the town if Page, Arizona to see the slot canyons. We had to inquire as to the wherabouts of the slot canyons. Jeff and Erin discovered a kiosk with all the information we needed. Which was good because Pat was getting us nowhereby asking the cashier at Sonics.
For future reference, in order to see the slot canyons one must be part of a guided tour. This tour is $25 per person. One must also pay a $5 entrance to the Navajo nation park people. And one must also pay a $5 hiking fee to the nation. All cash. We had no cash.
We went to the only place the forlorn can find solace in such a nowhere land. Wal-mart. Stay tuned to hear the rest of our epic tales today. For now my fingers need a rest. Enjoy this picture of what we get to see during our trip.
