day three of our south western road trip

Lower Antelope Canyon and Bryce Canyon National Park was what kept up busy on day three. Such very different places! While wondering where we should go in the morning - Lower Antelope Canyon or Upper Antelope Canyon, we again looked at trip adviser and saw that lower was ranked higher. So, we went there!

We took (very) steep steps/ladders down into the canyon and once down in, the formations and colors were so neat and unique. Our Navajo guide was exceptional with giving us bits of information about the fauna in the area, Navajo customs, the canyon itself and how it was made, along with picture taking tips and what setting your camera/phone should be on to get the best picture.

In the afternoon we drove to Kanab, UT, checked into our hotel, ate at The Three Bears (again, scrumptious food) and then headed out to Bryce Canyon Nat'l Park. This was such a unique park! The hoodoos, which are the formations sticking out of the ground, looked almost out of this world.

Waiting our turn to go down into the canyon.
Steps down. If you look to the left, you can see the old steps that were used. A rope was also used.
Such cool colors and formations
sister photo in the canyon!
Can you see it? It's supposed to be the outline of a woman's face and her hair.
This one is supposed to be an Indian with a head dress. (His eye ball is missing.)
