So I decided to fly down to Page today and it was so much fun! The flight down is only about 25-30 minutes, but the view of the lake is so awesome! It was so cool to see all the canyons and how far they stretch out beyond the lake. The plane ride didn't make my stomach too happy, but the experience was worth it.
I spent the day in Page and visited Wahweap, saw the Glen Canyon dam (from the shuttle), and did a little shopping before my afternoon flight home. The pilot even made a special loop around Rainbow Bridge so I got to see the aerial view, which was just as cool (and probably cooler) than up close. Flying into Bullfrog was the best part...the view of the marina and everything looking so small was so amazing.
Here are a bunch of pics from my fun day of flying (keep in mind these were taken through the window...so some are a little hazy looking)...enjoy!
Bullfrog Bay from the sky
The wing was in the way a lot, but I thought this one looked cool
Lake Powell
A cool canyon
"down lake" near Wahweap Marina
Me and the airplane I flew in at the airport in Page
Antelope Canyon
Rainbow Bridge...aerial view!
Hole in the Rock
The canyon stretching off into the distance is the Escalante River...somewhere way out there is Coyote Gulch, which I (and some of you) have backpacked through.
Glen Canyon Dam...through the window of the van. I didn't stop because apparently they don't let you takes bags or purses in and since I didn't have a car to leave it in, I decided not to go out to the dam.
Home sweet home! Flying over Bullfrog Marina

Beautiful pictures! You're getting me so excited to come down in October! Can't wait!
Those really are some great pictures! What a cool experience to have seen it from that point of view.
That is so cool that you got to go on a free plane ride in that small plane. Awesome pictures.
Bethany, that is sweet. Aside from living in the deathly heat, in the middle of nowhere, you have a pretty awesome job.
