October 30, 2011 – Travel to Page, Arizona

We woke this morning to another wonderful sunrise:

 

Once we got our act together we left our spot in Monument Valley and headed west.

The strange rock formations continue to fascinate me:

 

Oh my, what are those up ahead:

The name of those rock formations above are called “Elephant Feet” – how funny!

Snow covered mountains in the distance:

Such beautiful horses everywhere:

 

Our first stop was Tuba City where there was a Navajo Museum and a Code Talkers Museum but alas, they were closed so we continued to US-89 and north to Page.

One of the first things we noticed were the colors of the rocks and the barrenness of the land:

 

Little pockets of civilization along the way:

Our lunch spot:

And the landscape changes again:

 

Heading up the “hill”:

 

Views from the overlook about halfway up:

Almost at the top – going thru the sandstone:

And we are on top of the plateau – that is Lake Powell and Page in the distance:

Check out the swirls in the rocks:

Once in Page we stopped at Wal-Mart for some items then disconnected the car.  We wanted to check out the dump and the Elks.   At the Elks we meet up with Pam and Steve – great to see them again.  We will be with them for the Balloon Regatta this coming weekend.   So excited – :-))).

We went back to pick up our MH; did the dump thing and settled in here at the Elks.   Steve and Pam treated us to supper with Steve’s delicious chili – thank you so much.

The next couple of days we will checking out the sights so stay tuned.
