This area is the location for movies like Planet of the Ages (original
and 2001 remake), Maverick, and The Greatest Story Ever Told along with a bunch
more. I realize I obsess on movie locations. I could talk about the geological
history or the human history of a site. But, technically, movie locations are history
too…though relatively recent history. On a hike near Lake Powell, I am told the
rocks in the 3rd picture below were the location of Mount Sinai (Sermon on the Mount) in The Greatest
Story Ever Told.
We also were told that this Navaho Generating Station is closing. It is
coal powered and not economical to run. The closure is causing a problem for
Page in that the good paying jobs are going away so that most of what is left
is tourism and that is seasonal.
The big thing we did was kayak Antelope Canyon. We’ve canoed before but
never used a kayak. The deal where you have to paddle together was quite a
challenge at first. Scenes from the canyon:
We met a couple who took a picture of us then sent it to us while we took
a picture of them and sent it to them. Nice picture!
