Photos from 29th May
Views along Desert View Drive were plentiful and these pictures are typical of the splendid vistas on show.
The Watch Tower at the end of the Canyon can be climbed for views all the way back along the Canyon. Also a large gift shop and some art inside the tower.
This is the view from Echo Cliffs and you can see miles in a 180 degree panoramic view. The US89A can be seen below, on its way to the North Rim.
Whereas in Lower Antelope Canyon you walk down into the canyon at the entrance, here you have the canyon above you at the entrance.
The colours of the rocks are equally as good at both canyons. On the right, about half way up, you can see the cow pat that has descended from the top!
The light on the rocks changes, dependant on the time of day. Midday is probably the best time to view. Serious photographers were taking ages to snap the moment. I just pointed and clicked!
The Glen Canyon Dam and Bridge, taken from Page. We took a turn off the main highway, along Scenic View Drive and then a bit of a climb down to this viewpoint.
From the view of the Dam and Bridge, the other way gave this picture of the Colorado River.
Looking at Lake Powell, the water levels had gone down from two years ago, and even more dramatically from five years ago, when we first visited.
The picture above was taken on our 2002 trip, on 14 May, and you can see the water levels were a lot higher then than this year.
