DAY SEVEN: PAGE AND ANTELOPE CANYON/THE CHAINS

We woke up semi-early and well rested. We went to the Antelope Canyon slot tours office right by the hotel, hoping to get on an early tour, but the morning ones were all booked. Probably because everyone knows it is the best time to catch the sunbeams in the canyon.
We signed up for the 1:30 afternoon tour, and decided we had time to kill. I had read about an area along Lake Powell called "The Chains". This area is located just before the Glen Canyon Dam on US89 off a dirt access road. Although there is no sandy beach like Lone Rock, the Chains looked like a really cool place to hang and relax, and it seemed a lot more quiet than Lone Rock did.
Well, we were not disappointed:
This was a beautiful beach. We explored and hiked about a mile along the rocks, saw a cool fat lizard, and just relaxed in the cool lake water. This was definitely a good spot. Only a few people, and it was very relaxing.
