Choose your SW Dream
PAGE, AZ
SIGHTS - Visit the Antelope Slot Canyons. Use Antelope Slot Canyon Tours by Chief Tsosie and book ahead for the “peak times," also sometimes called prime photo times, to get the best picture taking. Its worth the upcharge is you are a photographer looking for the light rays coming down. Or if you prefer to to avoid the crowds, perhaps the other time slots are better. Expect to be herded in and out like cattle in whichever tour you choose. The secret is out and you will be bumping shoulders with many other "bucket-listers."
Be sure to visit Horseshoe-bend Overlook; if you plan on getting a sunset photo, arrive early to pick out your spot. Expect lots of people.
HOTEL - Stay at Best Western View of Lake Powell. Great Breakfast and amazing views.
MONUMENT VALLEY- Oljato
Must See Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park. Managed by the Navajo Nation, please respect their rules and don't enter the park after hours without a private Navajo tour guide.
ACCOMMODATIONS - Stay at “Redrock Hill House” at Goulding's Lodge, for backyard views of Monument Valley. Very rustic accommodations, but better than camping. We had a kitchen to make breakfast and room for 4 adults plus 4 teens. Amazing views; stay up late and on a clear night you can see the Milky Way.
