Super intrigued after seeing the National Sand Dunes parks in Colorado, we decided to take the almost dirt road 15 miles off our route to check it out. Having seen the incredible photos, we were super pumped to take a tour ourselves and enjoy the sights of the crazy cool shapes and colors inside the canyon.Įnroute to Arizona, we spotted a small sign on the side of the road that read “ Coral Sand Dunes”. This small crack in the earth, known as a slot canyon, was super under wraps to tourists until the late 90's, when National Geographic published a photo of the canyon on the cover of their magazine and figured out that the famouS desktop wallpaper was not from the Grand Canyon. The canyon is located just over the Arizona state line, near the city of Page, on Navajo Indian land. My brother suggested Lake Powell and after investigating a bit further, I realized that although we wouldn’t have time to actually enjoy the lake, but we would have time to check out Antelope Canyon! You may remember a photo of this piece of rock from the now "vintage" Microsoft desktop wallpaper. Tim and I were initially at a loss of where to stop to break up our 10-hour drive to Telluride.
