Our second day would take us from Provo to Page where we would sync up with the TT-West group coming in from Cortez. This was a relatively short drive day split between interstates and more scenic highways. We did get our first taste of high speed cruising on I-15 where there are a couple of autobahn-like 80mph zones. We spent most of the remaining miles on Hwy89 which we would retrace a couple more times over the coming days.
We arrived in Page early so headed straight down to the Horseshoe Bend overlook just south of town. I remembered there being an uphill hike through sand but I had forgotten that the first hill wasn't the actual viewpoint but instead you needed to hike out pretty far across a sandy slope to the edge of the cliff. This was also our first exposure to wind blown sand that would be a recurring theme for the trip. Eventually we did make it to the overlook and it was as good as I had remembered. We got lucky and made it to the viewpoint between large groups so we could enjoy the view and had our pick of photo spots.
We headed to the hotel where we planned to check in and unload the car so that we could do a late afternoon tour of Antelope Canyon. Unfortunately there was a delay getting in to our room so our schedule got a bit messed up. By the time we made it out to the canyon the tours had ended for the day. We made our way back to the hotel for dinner and an evening on the patio with the TT-West group.
