Day 8: Rain

Today we woke up to more rain. While the weather cleared here at the campground, our weather app showed rain at the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley. Therefore, we decided to wait another day before making the 2 1/2 hour drive to each national park. They have amazing Lake Powell boat tours here going through the breathtaking canyons, which we would have loved to do today, but unfortunately, they were already sold out. I was also not able to find tickets for Antelope Canyon, but was able to get tickets for Canyon X, which is another slot canyon. It is less famous and less visited, but we are glad we will be able to experience a slot canyon - assuming it does not get closed as well. Our tour is on Tuesday and we are hoping the slot canyons dry out by then.
With the weather not quite cooperating we had another relaxing day, grilling burgers, taking pictures of the scenery around the campground, and playing board games. We watched the sunset over Lake Powell and waited for the stars to appear. I can actually sit out here at night without being attacked by mosquitoes. Only a bat flew by.
