Touched by the Colorado River: A Few Scenes along the Water of an Incredible River.

The Colorado River beautifies every place it touches, perhaps caresses might be more accurate. We, too, have been deeply affected by this magnificent river. Why? On the surface, it's an easy answer, as mentioned in the last sentence. However, in a sense, it introduced us to a part of America that has made living and adapting to the country a far better experience. It has opened our eyes, our senses, to the wonders abounding in the natural world. Strange but it might be true. We say when it comes to the Colorado River: Go with the flow. 

Below are but a handful illustrating our exposure to thousands of scenes along the river. Each picture but one shows the dams and lakes fed by the river or river itself.

So where's the river? We arrived by Kayak and took a hike through Antelope Canyon, off the river. Page, Arizona.
