Just an FYI the admittance fee is now $26 per person but the views are no less gorgeous...It's worth EVERY penny. We arrived at 9:15 AM with the "tour" leaving at 9:30.....HURRY UP MICHELLE!!! I had to show Michelle this canyon since she had never seen it before. We spent 1 1/2 hours down here and to seal the deal was that we saw a snake on the way out. The "Snake Charmer" strikes again! It was a small snake and not a rattlesnake...just a foot long little guy looking for a cool place to hide. Our Navajo Tour guide HATES snakes and disappeared at this point but we four women (me, Michelle and two German tourists) forged on...snake and all!
