Upper Antelope Canyon

We are now in Phoenix getting our RV ready for storage and preparing for the long trip home.  Since it is approaching 110 here today – looking forward to getting back to Alaska!

This was from Upper Antelope Canyon.  I have always avoided this place on my earlier trips to Page because of the huge crowds this place attracts.  The crowds were worse then I imagine, but the scenery was amazing!

We are spending the last couple of days of this trip in the Las Vegas area doing some assignment work for a large book publisher.  I’m excited to be working with this publisher as it looks like it could lead to a lot more work.  Most of my assignment has been around the beautiful new visitor center working with a wonderful family as they viewed the different exhibits.  But, earlier in the morning, I couldn’t resist spending some time with this guy – and was lucky enough to catch him in a yawn.  In was in a large outdoor containment area in that visitor center.
