May 4, 2017 - Page, AZ

A perfect day for our activities today. Lake Powell Boat Ride and Horseshoe Bend.
The Antelope Canyon boat tour provides an up-close view of the colorful and sculpted canyons at the end of Lake Powell.  The tour covered about 10 miles and lasted  about 2 hours.  We took a 10:30 am tour.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
After the tour we walked down several boat slips to check out fancy/expensive boats and yachts. All boats that are docked there could easily be around $1 billion or more.
 
 
 
We decided to visit Horseshoe Bend again after reading an article about best timetable for shooting photos of the Horseshoe Bend.  The article mentioned that the Bend is best viewed late morning or mid afternoon. It was around 1:45 pm when we got there. The crowd was not as bad as it was yesterday evening.

On way back to the campground we stopped at some viewpoints to get pictures of the boat slips and the rock formations.
