September 1, 2015 Boat ride into Antelope Canyon

Tuesday, September 1, 2015  Boat ride into Antelope Canyon


Today was going to be an easy day with just a boat ride into the Antelope Canyon.  The weather was just perfect.  We had blue skies and the temperature was in the high 70’s.  We only had 10 people on the boat so we were not crowded as most of the tourists have gone back home due to school starting.  It was an hour cruise.  They said that Powell Lake was about ½ full and has been since 1999.  It still was at 450-460 feet deep.  In the spring the Canyon is bone dry and now we can only go back by boat 2 miles of the 22 mile Antelope Canyon.

I inquired about a certain bluff that I have been seeing off in a distance.  I found out that it was called Tower Bluff and the only way to get to it is by helicopter.  You get to spend 20 minutes on the top but you also get to see the area by helicopter but $250 per person is a little out of my range.  Maybe one day when I win the lottery or someone gives it to us for a gift....Hint hint ....only joking.
