You might not know this but Indians, excuse me, Native Americans do have more than just Casinos. Seriously, in fact the Navajos have a Reservation the size of West Virginia covering parts of Utah, Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico. And on this land is one bad ass canyon shaped by flash floods which is the setting for my next hike.
So I'll state up front that this wasn't much of a hike but more of a short walk through an amazing looking canyon. Since this was on Navajo Land, you had to have an Indian guide to be able to go through the canyon. On a side note the only prerequisite to being an Indian guide is to be part Indian and have a truck from the 80's Jerry rigged with a bench in the back, oh and you also have to drive that truck through the desert like your illegally smuggling immigrants over the boarder. We fortunately found one such Indian qualified to perform the task, and since she was so generous only charged us $45 to see it, but we did get a free authentic Indian dance in a Taco Bell parking lot. It's fine though, I'm sure all the meat they used there was spear caught.
So after a long ride out into the desert we finally got to Upper Antelope Canyon, along with 10-15 other tour groups, and headed in to see what all the fuss was about. That place was pretty amazing and instead of babbling on about it, I'm gonna let the pictures do the talking. Definitely a must do if you're ever planning a trip to the area. Tours run out of Page, Arizona, and we used this
