SUMMARY:Weekend Getaway to Antelope Slot Canyon - Page, AZ (KPGA)
LOCATION:Page, AZ (KPGA)
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:\n\nNext Weekend Getaway: Page, AZ on April 28th for a (rescheduled) trip t
 o Antelope Slot Canyon. Back in December, Mother Nature’s winter weather pr
 ompted us to cancel our sight-seeing trip to Page, AZ and their famous slot
  canyons. However, April holds promise -- let’s head north! I’ll contact Ch
 ief Tsosie's again to arrange for an afternoon tour of Antelope Slot Canyon
 . For folks who may be unfamiliar with the picturesque beauty of this area,
  you can check out their website. The canyons are on the Navajo reservation
 , and guided tours are conducted by Native Americans. By all means, bring a
  camera on this "getaway"!\n\nHere's a rough itinerary; I'll provide a few 
 more details as we near our departure date:\n• Plan to land at Page, AZ (KP
 GA) by 10:30 AM (or 1730 Zulu) on Saturday, 4/28. Shortly after our 10:30 A
 M arrival, I'll call for transportation.\n\n• Using Express Shuttle (928-64
 5-9596), a local taxi service, we will head downtown for an 11:30 AM lunch.
  The 1-way cost from the airport is $3/person.\n\n• I'm considering a coupl
 e of different locations for lunch. Chief Tsosie (the T is silent, by the w
 ay) recommended a place named Cherry 7 which is practically next door. On t
 he other hand, I recently received a recommendation for a local Mexican res
 taurant in downtown Page. So, the jury is still out on a lunch location... 
 However, I plan to make lunch reservations for our group prior to our arriv
 al.\n\n• After lunch, we can walk over to Chief Tsosie's in time for their 
 1:00 PM tour -- they'll be\nexpecting us. This time of year, the slot canyo
 n lighting is about the same for morning and\nafternoon tours. And, there a
 re usually fewer people in the afternoon. So, the 1:00 PM tour looks like o
 ur best choice. After everyone pays for their tour, we head to the canyon!\
 n- Chief Tsosie has several types of tours. (Again, look at their website f
 or details.) To keep\ncosts down, I'm planning on the 1.5 hr. "scenic" tour
 . Normally, the price is\n$32.25/person. Previously, they were willing to g
 ive us a 10% group discount. I’ll\nreconfirm…\n- They provide transportatio
 n to/from Antelope Canyon from their office in downtown\nPage. And, they ha
 ve several different vehicles, depending upon group size.\n\n• After return
 ing from the slot canyon tour, I'll contact Express Shuttle again for a rid
 e back to the airport. \n\nIf you’re interested in joining us, please send 
 me an email. fcalbrightAZ (at) gmail.com To minimize last-minute phone call
 s to Tsosie, etc., early responses would be appreciated! If you have questi
 ons, don’t hesitate to contact me or 480-776-9358. (My wife and I are flyin
 g to California with friends and will be gone for a couple of weeks. Howeve
 r, I expect to have internet access during the trip. And, we will return to
  AZ by the end of March.)\n\nSmall caveat… As is the case on all of our Wee
 kend Getaway Flights, you are PIC and responsible for all aspects of flight
  planning, including (but not limited to) weather, routing, and aircraft pe
 rformance. The go/no-go decision is entirely yours! As volunteer trip leade
 r, I’ve selected a destination and will arrange a few details like transpor
 tation and possible restaurant (or lodging) reservations that do not involv
 e money.\n
