Akkana and Dave Win at the Slots
We had two goals for this trip:
- Get close to the Vishnu Schist, the ancient Precambian metamorphic
rock in the inner gorge at the bottom of the Grand Canyon; and
- Get a good look at a slot canyon.
The trip took us through the Hualapai reservation in southwestern
Arizona, to Page, in northeastern Arizona, then back and forth along
the Arizona/Utah border as we returned home.
When not hiking,
we spent a fair amount of time on dirt roads, where the RAV4 aquitted
itself quite well everywhere except on Sand Mountain near Hurricane,
UT, where the lack of good off-road tires defeated us in our attempt
to find the dinosaur tracks mentioned on the map.
