Rock Formations along the Nipple Bench and a visit to Lees Ferry

 Wednesday, October 18

We spent the morning in nearby Page, AZ...doing errands, getting groceries and such.

We relaxed at the camp in the afternoon.  I did go out for a bit of riding on Yagi to get a closer look at nearby rock formations:





The T-Dub, with its tires aired down to about 8 PSI, is in its element here on the sandy/gravel terrain of the Nipple Bench.

Today we drove down to Lee's Ferry near the Vermillion Cliffs in Arizona.  We didn't really take pics of the gorgeous rock formations there as the light was a bit flat.  However, here's a link to a previous visit: LINK

The objective today was to check out Paria Beach.  This is where the Grand Canyon apparently starts you see.




After the beach, we ate lunch at the boat launch area where canyon rafting trips begin into the Grand Canyon area.

We checked out the Lonely Dell Ranch nearby:



Root Cellar, it was slightly cooler inside

My first wife at the Polygamist Cabin


Returning to the entrance, we did stop for pics of the Balanced Rock:


Back at Page, AZ, we stopped by the Carl Hayden Visitor Center where one can learn and see the Glen Canyon Dam:



A full day for us, we returned to camp to relax our way into the evening.

Taking a pic at Balanced Rock is a must for the traveling tourist, we have them, too. Cheers, SonjaM

I sometimes think the local tourism board sets up and maintains these sights! ;)
