Day Trip to Page AZ

Started out early since it was going to be a 140 mile (one way). Traveled on hwy 89 north of Flagsaff. Interesting drive since the elev was going from 7100 down to 4000 then back up to 6000. The drive took me thru little towns like Grey Mtn, Cameron, Gap then up thru Antelope Pass. The pass was under road work, only 1 lane which caused some delay in time. Then into Page. My goal was to see the Antelope Canyon which is on Navajo land. They charge a entry fee of 6.00 and 20.00 to do a 2 mile walk to the canyon. It was very hot and lots of people so I elected not to go. Instead went to the Antelope Marina which was great and had lunch. This marina is new (about 4 yrs old) and they have plans for a hotel and a RV park. From there left to do some geocaching in Page. Another area I visit was Glen Canyon and the Dam. Left Page late.. On the way back stopped in Cameron at the Trading Post. So much history there.
Arrived back at the RV about 8pm. Neat day.
