Hummer Adventure, Page, AZ
These photos are from part 2 of our trip with the Colorado River Discovery tour group. Richard and I and a couple visiting from Israel boarded a white hummer in Page which took us out to the Reservation and land owned by a Navajo family, the Mansons. We had a calm ride initially then did some hummer climbing, pipeline, kind of stuff before we came to a stop at the Secret Canyon. The secret canyon is actually a slot canyon discovered on the land kind of by accident. It is smaller and less crowded than the more well-known Antelope Slot Canyons...but it gave us a good idea of how they are formed and the dangers they can pose during a flash flood. No danger of that on this 110 degree day! The canyon photos aren't so great but they are okay. Lighting was difficult and hand-holding the camera in that setting was not easy...but still they give an idea of what the canyon looked like. The area surrounding the canyon is so beautiful, so open and untamed, I loved it. On the way out, the cattle gave us a lot of hearty laughter. It was great fun.

  1. Loved the formation of the rocks in the Secret Canyon, so pretty.
    Good thing Peggie wasn't there for the Black Widow Spider, she would have pulled out her can of RAID. All gone.
