Saturday 28 September

Early to Rise

Saturday. Where to begin? I guess, at the beginning.

It was a very short night. We went, as we mentioned, to cheer hikers until a bit after sunset, which is about 6:30 pm this time of year, so we got back to the room maybe 7:30 pm. We grabbed showers, arranged our gear, and started actually packing the car. Elizabeth needed a few things left out, so I got extra early, like 5 am to make sure we got all of our gear charged and everything accounted for and back into the van in time to get on the road.

There are a bunch of time considerations out here. First off, the distances to everything are big, and many of the roads are not. Then, Las Vegas is on Pacific Time, but Arizona is on Mountain time. Some of Arizona follows Daylight Savings Time, some (including most or all of the Indian Reservations) do not. So.... it's nearly impossible to know, for sure, what time it is anywhere in particular. Like, calculus hard. Our first stop on Saturday was going to be Antelope Canyon (lower), where we were able to score a reservation for like the 10 am tour... but it's a couple of hours away, and we weren't sure what time they're on... so we had to call and confirm. With that in hand (I think it turned out they were on the same time as the Park, because they were across the timezone line, but didn't observe Savings time, but I forget the details.

What I do recall clearly is we needed to on the road very early, had a booked schedule, and had until 11 pm to catch our flight (OK, so we figured we needed to be dropping the car off by about 7:30 pm so we can get checked in, through security, and grab a meal first, but you get the idea).

Lower Antelope Canyon

We booked with "Dixie's" tours, mostly because they had an opening in the time-slot we had available, but in hindsight they also seemed to be the most organized.
