Harley Ride 2010 - Day 3

This Post can be seen online by clicking here

Two sets of pictures today:
First - Antelope Canyon,
Second - Monument Valley

The day started early with a booked tour of Upper Antelope Canyon, which is located just outside of Page Arizona. Scott Campbell, a friend and avid photographer first made me aware of the 'slot canyon' with his pictures. The sandstone is carved every time there's a flash flood in the area. The floods are rare, but there were 14 last year. My pictures don't do justice to the true colours. Search 'antelope canyon' on google for some great professional shots.



Today's ride is probably best described as 'Back Tracking'. From Page AZ, we rode SE on Hwy98, East on Hwy160, entering Monument Valley at Kayenta on Hwy163. Riding North To Mexican Hat and then up the precarious switchback to Moki Dugway Overlook, only to turn back and retrace the route to Tuba City for the night.

The forecast is improving, not a cloud in the sky today, but was very surprised to see snow throughout Monument Valley.

More pictures of the great scenery and of course the 'bikes'.... and a couple of Mike and I. Enjoy.

Glad you made it to Antelope Canyon - a place well worth the effort to get to.
