After Antelope Canyon we went swimming in Lake Powell – a huge man-made lake next to Glen Dam. It was gorgeous and very very hot……. 

 

We joined some Navajo Indians who took us into the desert. We travelled there in a giant 4×4 with an open back where we clung on for dear life as the track was very bumpy 

 
It was worth the bumpy, dusty journey to Upper Antelope Canyon – a slot canyon formed over millions of years by rainwater. Two weeks before we visited there was a flash flood which made the canyon two foot deeper.

The highlight of our rafting trip was swimming in the canyon. The Colorado river was 8 degrees C. Absolutely freezing even though  it was about 100 degrees  F in the canyon. 

      

   

 

Yesterday we went rafting in Glen Canyon, near Lake Powell in Arizona. We started at Glen Dam and rafted along the Colorado river. The canyon walls, which were 1,000 feet high in places, led us to Horseshoe bend – a spectacular and much-photographed part of the canyon.  

   

A scenic pit stop on our way from the Grand Canyon to Page. This is cowboy country. A man named Buffalo Jones introduced buffalos here. Mummy and Daddy told us a not very funny joke about buffalos and bisons. 

 

  Here I am with the Grand Canyon’s most famous mule – Brighty. It is good luck to rub his nose before a hike. We did a five mile hike and sniffed lots of Ponderosa trees that smelt of custard.

 We are now in the amazing Grand Canyon. It is just a big red hole in the ground (only joking!). It is a mile deep and its length is further than the journey from London to Pembrokeshire.

Las Vegas is strange. Therefore we weren’t sure if we wanted to leave! It was fun: the ice machine, bubba gump shrimp, Starbucks and the New York New York  rollercoaster! 😜
