Arizona April 20-29th, 2024

 Arizona 20-29th, 2024


On April 20 hubby and I flew from Baltimore-Washington Airport to Phoenix Arizona, it was a fly-drive trip. Arriving in Phoenix we picked up our rental car and drove 6 hours to Page Arizona for the start of our vacation. Thinking back on this it was a mistake to fly for 5 plus hours and then drive for another 6 hours with little to eat.  April 21st, our first full day in Page, we had reservations for the Upper Antelope Canyon tour. Hubby had a low blood sugar episode before he could eat breakfast. He was fine after the EMT's, hotel worker Suzie and a guest who was a nurse checked him over and the orange juice was very helpful. So, I ended going on the tour and hubby stayed back at the hotel resting. 

We reserved a Navajo guided tour through the slot canyon called Upper Antelope Canyon 

It was nice they refunded my hubby's ticket price since he could not make the tour.  It was upsetting since it was a highlight of the vacation for me and hubby. Below are some photos from the tour, the tour was only a total of 3/4 mile walk.

If rafting on the Colorado River, the Grand Canyon National Park is just 16 miles below the tailwaters of the Glen Canyon Dam. It does take longer to drive the 141 miles from Glen Canyon Dam to the Grand Canyon NP.

Thanks for visiting! Take care, have a great day!

  1. That slot canyon is so interesting and cool. I'm glad you could still go but very disappointing that hubby couldn't. Great looking bridge. Happy end of May to you!

  2. Thank Linda! Hubby and I enjoyed all the western states, we missed the middle of the country because we always took fly-drive vacations. My motto; go now, before it's too late. Take care, enjoy your day!

  3. Hello Eileen,
    This is so great. Whata fantastic place.
    Wonderful that streaming river along these rocks. And what a wonderful bridge. It's a fantastic artwork.
    That must be great to be in real there. Nice post Eileen. I like it.

    Many greetings,

  4. You brought a lot of great memories from our trip there several years ago. Antelope Canyon was a special place to visit, an incredible memory. A Navajo lady was our guide, she was brilliant! Even helping us to take photos with the right settings inside the canyon so that we would have decent photos. Thank you for the great memories and have a wonderful day!
