At the end of the trail a new adventure starts
We had time to stop at Pipe Spring National Monument for a short walk to stretch our legs at the end of the day.
The monument is located in Arizona very close to the Utah border.
The water at Pipe Spring made it possible for plants, animals, and people to live in this dry desert region. Ancestral Puebloans and Kaibab Paiute Indians gathered grass seeds, hunted animals, and raised crops near the springs for at least 1,000 years.
White Pocket is a distinctive area within Vermillion Cliffs National Monument.
The area is characterized by reddish Navajo Sandstone mounds and ridges, many of which are covered by a white layer, giving it the appearance of cauli flowers
After a long and sandy road we reached White Pocket at dusk
We left Page towards White Pocket and made a quick stop at Marble Canyon and Historical Navajo Bridge
There are many slot canyons around Page. The most famous ones are the upper and lower Antelope Canyons. We have visited them in the past but this time we decided to avoid the crowds and visit some of the less known slot canyons in the area.
Our choice was for the Waterhole canyon since it was on our way out of Page towards Marble Canyon
Horseshoe Bend is a geographical feature of the Colorado river that is part of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.
It is a very touristic and crowded place due to it being easily accessible through US Highway 89 from Page. Continuing on the highway you will reach Grand Canyon National Park. It is also one of those places that if we are in the area we need to return to it.
The Four Corners Monument marks the location where the states of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah meet.
It is the only point in the United States shared by four states, leading to the area being named the Four Corners region.
