We got to see more of Page, AZ and the Glen Canyon than we had planned during our March/April visit. We had to limp into Page from Lee's Ferry because of transmission problems and spent the better part of a week in the area. Our first visit was to the Glen Canyon Dam (top of it is visible in this photo) and we walked over the bridge which does give one a good view of a bit of the canyon. Because of all the time we had, we did decide to do the smooth river raft down the Colorado from Page to Lee's Ferry. It takes about 5 hours and it was a fairly good river trip, although I was definitely ready for a little more action by the time is was over. Our guide didn't have a really good understanding of the natural history in the area (her first official trip), but the sun was shining, the views impressive and we did manage to see a couple of golden eagles.
