This week we’re taking you on 4 special adventures in Arizona: an amazing National Monument, a jeep ride in the beautiful red rocks of Sedona, one of our favorite campgrounds and kayaking on the Salt River in search of wild horses. 1.

In 2014 Carol and I rafted 8 days and 277 miles of the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. We fell in love with the Grand Canyon and the Southwest.

Milestone: 2 Months on the Road! While in Lake Powell we stayed at Wahweap Campground and this was one of our favorites. The sites are spread apart and staggered so the views were of the lake and buttes. We were able to get a tour of lower Antelope Canyon via kayak. (In 2016 we toured upper Antelope Canyon, we will include a couple pictures from that trip in the gallery, it is amazing). Most people know Antelope canyon from the iconic pictures of a multicolor slot canyon that is a hiking adventure. Those parts of Antelope are on Navajo land…
