Vegas to Kanab

Hi All,
We after our huge week in Vegas we headed off first thing Friday Morning, traffic was pretty good & before you knew it we were back in the desert!

Of course the scenery was wonderful:

Just magnificent!

Our destination for today was Kanab Utah, which was an easy drive about 5 hours:

Kanab

We had lunch in this beautiful little park surrounded by mountains:

A Little Oasis

The town itself it quite pretty and well maintained:
With some lovely little shops:

All surrounded by mountains

The next morning we headed off to the Grand Canyon North Rim - Last year we did the West & South Rim!

The first thing we saw when we entered the park
was a herd of Buffalo:

And some Deer

Unfortunately it was very hazy so the photo's don't show the true beauty of the Canyon but here are some:

Then we left The North Rim  & headed for Page.
We went over the Navajo Bridge which crosses the Colorado River:

Just before we got to Page we stopped at a Lookout for Horse Shoe Bend - Well worth the walk in 100 degree heat!

3/4 mile each way

Just beautiful - shame the water was so far away, it was bloody hot!

We had lunch in Page & then headed for Lake Powell, we crossed Glen Canyon Bridge over Glen Canyon
Dam.

We were amazed how big Lake Powell was, we actually found out later that this was only a portion of the Lake:

It has it's own Marina

Checkout all the Mobile homes along the edge!

The we returned to Kanab for the night after a very full day!
On Sunday we head off to do the Canyons - but that's the next post!
Cheers Dave & Shell
