We went round Horseshoe Bend, and yelled Hello at the visitors photographing the bend from above and heard an echo, then took a snap of the 'hill' that forms the centre of the bend (if this sounds confusing, check out the photo from the viewpoint later on). which could prove painful! Then we boarded our raft, which floated down the Colorado while we wondered at the canyon walls soaring 1000ft above us. We then put on hard hats to walk under the road bridge 700ft above, just in case someone threw something out the car window.
This trip, we are here a week early, but we are doing it anyway! We started with a bus ride through the 2 mile access tunnel cut into the side of the canyon, containing windows cut to jettison the waste rubble from the tunnel. Today we are rafting the Colorado through Glen Canyon, a tour we booked last time to coincide with our tradition of celebrating our wedding anniversary on the water somehow. I'm not swayed by a margarita and a mariachi!
