We found Moqui Caves! Since we have showered and are headed to dinner-we didn't get out to hike up and inspect them. But when reading about things to do in Kanab, I found a mom who posted about finding them.
Enjoy her blog. http://www.saltproject.co/blog/moqui-caves-kanab-ut
Maybe next time we come this way. 😊

Lower Antelope Canyon - Ken's Tours. Best tour ever!
Our guide Tyler was amazing! He set everyone's cell phone cameras and big cameras before we went in. Wow!
So the canyons are all under ground and we're formed by rain water. No other water gets in these canyons. Flash floods will kill people in here as they travel 50-75 mph. Scientists tried to put go pros in the walls to capture the floods. Six were put in. All were torn off the walls from the speed of the waters. Only one was found. At the bottom of Lake Powell.
Wow.
The holes you see to the left of the stairs are how you would have toured in the 80s and before. A rope for your hands and holes for your feet.
These are the second set of stairs as a great flood in the late 90s tore the first set off-all 11 or 13 sets.

We are waiting for our tour. The wind is blowing and it's cooler. We read that it's 5 degrees cooler in the tour. They close these canyons when it gets too hot so who thought we would need to bust out some long sleeves?!
Kevin said, "You'll be fine when you get walking." I asked, "Have you met me?!"
Needless to say, Mommy went digging for long sleeves for the girls.
