Sights In The Southwest: Day 4

The highlight of our trip was meant to be The Wave. However, only 20 people are given permits each day, 10 of which are reserved in advance through an online lottery and the remaining 10 are given out through an in-person lottery at the Grand Escalante Visitor Center. On our first try, over ninety people showed up for the in-person lottery! Nevertheless, we didn't win.

After our loss, we headed over to Antelope Canyon to ease our disappointment and it turned out to be the perfect place to clear our minds.


Walking through the canyon was really cool and the sights along the way were amazing. As the sun moved across the sky, the light would change inside the canyon, and you would see spectacular views that would only last a minute.

Later in the afternoon, we visited Horseshoe Bend. At this vista you can see the Colorado river make a 180 degree turn.

Since the sky was a little hazy when we got there we weren't able to get a vibrant photo of it but you get the idea.
