On July 30, 2010, several tourists were stranded on a ledge when two flash floods occurred at Upper Antelope Canyon.[

So many interesting facts and sights.  The tour guide was excellent.  If you are in the area worth the visit.

At the time of my visit, there were only three groups in the canyon.  Very nice.  However it can get full and pushed but that was not the case for us.  The ride to the canyon is very bumpy and the guides go fast so be prepared for Mr. Toads Wild Ride!  Fun but you will fly around that truck.  My bus was enclosed with air and all the comforts.  But some of the other groups are not.  If you choose that case, be prepared to be very dirty by the time you get there.

Of course, if you are dirty, you can wash off here but beware!

Horseshoe Bend is a horseshoe-shaped incised meander of the Colorado River.  It’s a short hike to it with plenty of rest stops along the way.  There is a parking fee to visit.

There were a number of watercrafts down there enjoying the hot summer day.

After our visit to the Page, AZ area, it was time to head towards Cortez, CO.  Along the way I came across the Lizard Head Wilderness.  Besides nature called!

Day Thirteen | Cortez, CO – Ouray, CO | 150 miles

A nice and easy day on the backroads near the San Miguel Peak to Ouray, CO.  Along the way, another visit to Telluride, CO.

It had been raining for most of the day but once we parked the bikes, the rain stopped.  Thank you, Lord.

The Telluride Mountains contain 350 miles of tunnels, enough to reach from San Francisco to Los Angles.  Billions of dollars in gold, silver, cooper, lead and zinc have been produced here since 1880 and the area is still being mined.
