56.04 Page, Arizona: Rim hike and appreciation of a region that touches us deeply. A salute to the great Navajo nation.

Before reaching the day's publication, these three shots struck me as standouts. They are taken a week later on a boulder hopping hike. 

The second is our interpretation of the concept of 'The Wave', heading to the pit. The third is 'hats off' to Jen as she moves into a precarious position. At times, she surprises me. 

'Morning has broken' in Page...anything but.

Our first view of Lake Powell which we call part of the river.
Rugged country leading up to the 'river'.
'Walkaway, please go', sang Matt Monroe.
'Dare one say that Jen has gone round the bend?'
Always impressed with Castle Rock.
More impressed with Tower Butte (aka 'Voortrekker Monument').
The Rim Trail gives a feeling at times of living on the edge.
A previous blog shows the ferry in the canyon. That's the entry point to Antelope Canyon by water.
Returning to the rim.
The following two photographs are taken from the same position but for facing the other way. They illustrate both the effect of light and changing formations. We sat in this position for brunch. 

In the last blog, we wrote about undulating land and that the eye missed much of the nature of it from distance. This is typical of land formations. Nothing is as flat as it seems when planning the route.
Perspective as Jen heads for the water.
The desert coloring is spectacular...but you've read that remark before.
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey
