Lazy day!

Captains Log September 17 – Our last day in Page! Such a nice small city with everything you

I've turned Melissa into a rock 
climber!

need and fantastic sights to see!

There was nothing specific on our agenda today so we headed out to check out the Glen Canyon Dam.  Behind some buildings in Page is a huge overlook with lots of rocks to climb on so we started there.  Then we crossed the bridge over the Colorado River and parked in the parking area of the dam.  We got our and walked about the dam and , boy, is it a long way down!  We could see the higher water on one side and it was really low on the other .  Surprisingly there were quite a few cars stopped there was well.

We drove on to the entrance of Glen Canyon National Park. On this side of the park it's mostly water sports you see. There were huge parking lots for everything from a jet ski to huge houseboats. We stopped at some landings and could

Love those rocks!

see the variety of boats here and there on the river. There were also several campgrounds as well. Once you leave that area, it's quite a ways to “see” more sites so we ended up turning back and heading back into Page  lunch at a BBQ place. The brisket was awesome. Bill and I ordered a pound to share and didn't begin to finish it and then ordered another pound to go. We are good for a couple of meals for sure!

We checked out a couple of shops carrying mostly native American made products. Melissa found a bracelet and Bill just got some post cards. We stopped at the trading post near our campground but they didn't have anything interesting to us.

Heading west tomorrow to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon!
