Continuing south, we had the incredible opportunity of touring the Upper Antelope Canyon as well as the Grand Canyon. We hadn't researched about the Antelope Canyon ahead of time. When I saw photos taken there and how close we would be to this wonder of the world, I spent a lot of time figuring out how to get us there. I thought you had to book a tour, and that had to be done in advance. Then I saw the option of drop in tours and we were on schedule to potentially make it for one of those. If we arrived a minute later we would've missed it! I would highly recommend taking the time to stop here, and also bring warm clothes! The photo displayed on this channel was taken inside the Antelope Canyon, though it looks like we're on Mars or something!

We stayed in the Holiday Inn Express at the Grand Canyon Village. NOTE: there are two buildings, so check in and then grab your bags otherwise you might have to unload and reload when you find out you're actually staying in the older building across the street.. thanks for that... It was the worst of the Holiday Inn Express hotels that we stayed in. But the breakfast was still stellar!
