We decided to stay in Page because it would provide access to the North Rim and the South Rim of the canyon. Also, it was one of the few pet-friendly hotels in the area and also one of the few hotels that didn't cost $150+ per night.
After speaking to a man in Idaho who had been to the canyon multiple times, we decided to just visit the South Rim. That made for long trips both days, but it was worth it. Next time, we will probably visit the North Rim.
Also, the road we took to Page took us back through Zion National Park. The kids (and Dad) loved getting to go through the tunnels again.
One of the little towns in Utah that we passed through on the way to Page had this little creamery. The place was packed so we figured it was good ice cream. Indeed it was. James had a delicious root beer float. The others had ice cream cones that were also delicious. A very refreshing treat in the midst of such a dry area of the country.
And, of course, here are the three bears. :)
Glen Canyon Dam. It sits above the Hoover Dam on the Colorado River. Lake Powell is one of the main Arizona destinations for water sports.

Another angle of the dam as viewed from our hotel. The bridge that passes in front of the dam is very similar to the one they are building at Hoover Dam.
The Grand Canyon tomorrow!
