Hi Everyone,

I am thinking about taking a trip to Monument Valley and Page (Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend), then to grand canyon and Sedona in the week of thanksgiving. I just wanted to know generally how is that time of the year to visit these places? Lots of snow? Also, any suggestion for a good place to stay in Page would be helpful.


Give Lulu a call!

Or Bob

Or try the Red Rock

All are renovated block houses that were built to house Dam workers. The facilities are spartan, but comfortable, inexpensive and quirky.


The photography tour of Antelope Canyon starts at 9:30am-12pm, is that time good to see light beams in the canyon? Please advise. I will have a 4 year old kid with me too... Thanks!


AFAIK, Tours of upper Jackalope start on a continual basis. Lower doesn\'t require you to join a guide/tour, so you can roam the canyon at your own pace. (Much preferred, IMO)

I haven\'t posted this in a month or so, so let me spam the forum with a link to my Google Earth placemark collection. http://members.cox.net/geonerd/Canyon_Hikes.kmz you can download the file and import into the Google Earth application, or paste the URL into the http://maps.google.com search bar. As you can see, there is a lot to photograph in the area, although much involves more tromping than a 4 year can manage. Your kid might get a kick out of touring the Glenn Canyon Dam. If you fly into Vegas, the Toadstool Hoodoos will be en route and should be within hiking range.
