 March 31, 2025 Yesterday afternoon, after the sky cleared up we decided to do one more hike here in Page, AZ. We chose the Bee Hive Trail just outside Page. Here are some pictures of the area. It is all solid rock on this hike. Also most of the time on an angle. It was a beautiful day.   Diane, being the smarter one did not climb up. I believe this rock is called the wave. Old men should not climb up the mountain :) Hikers have laid stones along the path so you know where to hike, very helpful. We also had to drive around the mountain when the hike was over, more deep sand trails to lead me astray. Saw this while hiking on the mountain side. Just had to find our way there.   I was happy I had the sand boards along even though we did not have to use. We spent most of today packing up and cleaning. Tomorrow we hit the road once again. The adventures continue.

 March 30, 2025 Our last week here in Page, AZ. This past week we headed west of Page to check out an area we visited before. It was the area we spotted the guys looking for gold. This time I took my metal detector along. We took a lunch and the lawn chairs. Diane took her tablet so she could read an E-book as I explored.  made up of sediment and stones wavy stone I had to climb over on the trail.  I headed back into the canyon (above) where we spotted the guys earlier. Easy walk up and down the rocks and back into the gorge about a quarter mile. Always amazed at the rock formations. One rock was made up of mud and stone, layer upon layer, and I bet over thousands of years to create.  In the one arched cut out in the mountain there was a tree, picture on previous blog, that I figured if you are going to bury gold, mark it with a tree. I took my metal detector there and started to search for treasure. A couple of minutes in and it started to beep. I dug and dug and al...

 March 22, 2025 This passed Sunday we ventured out into the mountains to find the Skylight Arch. After a few miles of dirt road and a mile hike we stumbled upon this gaping hole in the mountain with a arch on the far side. Quite a site but if you walked 50 feet to the left  you may not see it at all. You can walk across the arch, which I had to do.   Great view from here. We had to drag Buddy as he doesn't want to hike most of the time. The only time he moves faster is when he knows we are heading back the way we came. You don't want to misstep around here. There is always interesting rock formation to view.  You can see forever, snow capped mountain in the background.  Next we headed to west of Kanab about 1.75 hours from our campsite to hike the Belly of the Dragon. This has been on my bucket list for a couple of years now and this is the closest we have gotten, so I just had to take the time to see the site. You can hike for a mile and half you if you wa...
