Yesterday was another wonderful Crawford holiday. Thanks to Jeff & Danielle and family for hosting and to Mike & Lisa and family for flying out west to join us. It was a great day of family with food, gobble wobbles, games and football.
Trip Log
November 27, 2019
After breakfast we went to the Superstition mountains and The Lost Dutchman State Park for a long hike. Bridget had school and Bailey wasn't feeling well so they didn't go. We took a longer but less steep hike to the high point at the base of the cliffs.

Spent Sunday watching football and some slept. Took a walk at dusk in the neighborhood to check out Christmas lights. Yesterday we did some last minute Thanksgiving shopping and prepared for the incoming Crawfords. Mike and family left Philly around 6 PM and arrived in Phoenix at around 9:30.

Helped a little with some yard work and replaced a tire tube on a bicycle. Tried to patch the hole but it was too big so bought a tube on Amazon yesterday. Now we can ride. Watched ASU upset Oregon (Sweet!) then watched the rest of White Christmas.

Jeff worked a bit this morning and then we headed to Saguaro Lake Park about 32 miles north of here. Bailey had mentioned that he was cliff diving there with some friends from school and Jeff was interested in checking it out and it was also a place we wanted to see.

Been a cool and wet couple of days which is very rare for the Phoenix area. Glad we came back a little early because travel could have been a little iffy. No snow until yesterday in our travel zone. Arizona Snowbowl got 22 inches of snow today so I guess they are going to open tomorrow.

Yesterday was a relaxing and 'shopping for Thanksgiving' day. This morning we dropped Jeff off at the airport for a day trip to Seattle and we headed south to Tombstone.

Just out of Page we stopped at the Horseshoe Curve on the Colorado River. It was a mile and a half walk but well worth it. We had heard of Waterhole Canyon which was just beyond horseshoe curve. You needed to buy a Navajo pass for $5 each then you could tour the canyon at your leisure.

Spent the night in Page, Arizona and after breakfast visited the Glen Canyon dam again. Stopped by last night but the visitors center was closed so we drove around Page a bit.

The primary purpose of this trip from Jeff's was here at Bryce Canyon. Alesa is a Tony Hillerman fan and has always wanted to see the red hoodoos and the park did not disappoint.
